Pink will receive the Icon Award at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
The three-time BBMA winner, who joins only nine other artists to ever receive the honor, will also perform at the event.
The Icon Award recognizes outstanding artists who have achieved excellence on the Billboard Charts and have made an indelible mark on music itself. Pink joins previous honorees Garth Brooks, Cher, Neil Diamond, Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey.
Pink said in a statement, “As a little girl, I always dreamed about being a singer and sharing my love of music with the world. Years later, to receive the Billboard Music Awards Icon Award is hard to fathom! I feel so honored to join the ranks of music idols like Cher, Garth Brooks, Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder. It’s a true ‘pinch me’ moment and I feel humbled and blessed.”
Hosted by Nick Jonas, the BBMAs will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, May 23rd at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC.
