Sting received an Ivors Academy fellowship, the highest honor bestowed by the UK-based association for music writers
The "Every Breath You Take" writer and singer, who has sold more than 100 million albums from his time with rock band The Police and as a solo artist, received an Ivors Academy fellowship, the highest honour bestowed by the UK-based association for music writers.
"A couple of years ago, I got the lifetime achievement award, which I thought was a little bit premature, so this is somehow beyond that," Sting told Reuters on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony. Wet Leg's Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers took the songwriter of the year award in recognition of their chart-topping eponymous debut album, while best contemporary song went to Raye's "Escapism".
Styles's mega hit "As It Was" won the most performed work category while rock band James received the music icon award.
