The previous winners of this prestigious honor include Paul McCartney (2001) and Michael Jackson (2002).

In his acceptance speech at the Awards ceremony which are dedicated to the ideals of peace and freedom, Neil quoted Jimi Hendrix: “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
