What is the Brit Icon Award?

The accolade is the highest accolade bestowed by the British recording industry's flagship ceremony and it's presented to artists whose writing, recording and performances have set them apart as having made a "lasting impact" on the nation's culture.

Only two other artists have won it – Sir Elton John and David Bowie.
