Tyler was awarded for his charity, Janie's Fund, which serves to protect and bring awareness to the issues of neglected girls and young women. The fund is named after the Aerosmith song "Janie's Got a Gun," and partners with a group called Youth Villages to provide safe spaces and extended care for the girls, according to the Janie's Fund website.

Steven Tyler was born 72 years ago in New York, and later moved to Boston where he formed Aerosmith with his bandmate Joe Perry, according to Biography.com. After a string of hits in the 70s and 80s like "Sweet Emotion," and "Dream On," they kept the momentum of their skyrocketing career in the 90s with "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," from the "Armageddon" soundtrack, and "Crazy."

Tyler created his flamboyant stage persona with his signature scarves and outlandish outfits that he still keeps up with today. He went on to appear as a judge on "American Idol" for two years and is the father of four children including actress Liv Tyler and model Mia Tyler.
