May 11, 2021

Howard has long made known his love of power-pop rockers Cheap Trick and the band recently returned the favor with a live performance of John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth” exclusively for the Stern Show. “I am lucky, I love Cheap Trick. The idea they would dedicate a song to me or even know my name, that’s amazing to me,” he said Tuesday before heaping more praise on the band. “That’s a great Lennon song for them … the boys have never sounded better.”

Watch their rendition (above) as well as a performance of their new single “Light Up the Fire,” dedicated to Stern Show co-host Robin Quivers (below).

Cheap Trick’s new album “In Another World” is available now.
