LOS ANGELES: Singer Pink will likely be honoured with the Icon Award on the 2021 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs).

The award goals to recognise artists who’ve achieved success on the Billboard charts and left an indelible impression on music.

Pink joins earlier honourees that embrace Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Cher, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and Garth Brooks.

“As a little girl, I always dreamed about being a singer and sharing my love of music with the world,” the 41-year-old singer, who’s the youngest recipient thus far, mentioned in an announcement.

“Years later, to obtain the Billboard Music Awards Icon Award is difficult to fathom! I really feel so honoured to affix the ranks of music idols like Cher, Garth Brooks, Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder.

It’s a real ‘pinch me’ second and I really feel humbled and blessed,” she added.

Singer-actor Nick Jonas will host the 2021 version of the Billboard Music Awards, that are scheduled to happen on May 23.

The nominations for the awards had been lately introduced by Dick Clark Productions and the NBC.

Singer-songwriter The Weeknd is main the nominations with 16 nods, adopted by DaBaby (11), the late Pop Smoke (10), and nation singer Gabby Barrett (9).

Contenders for the Top Artist award are Taylor Swift, the Weeknd, Drake, Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke.
