On May 22, Céline’s son René-Charles presented her with the prestigious ICON Award at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. Céline had just delivered a heartfelt performance of “The Show Must Go On” with the brilliant violinist Lindsay Stirling. The ceremony took place at the brand new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and was broadcast on ABC.
The ICON Award is a lifetime achievement award that honors the cultural impact of an artist whose extraordinary talent as a creator and entertainer has stood the test of time. Celine is the 5th artist to win this honour. The previous winners are music legends Neil Diamond (2011), Stevie Wonder (2012), Prince (2013) and Jennifer Lopez (2014).
