American soprano Renee Fleming and Pink Floyd have been announced as the winners of this year's Polar Music Prize, Sweden's biggest music award, which was set up by ABBA manager Stig Anderson in 1989.
Fleming receives the award "in recognition of her sublime unparalleled voice and unique stylistic versatility", while Pink Floyd are recognised "for their monumental contribution over the decades to the fusion of art and music in the development of popular culture".
Both winners will receive 1 million Swedish Kronor (approx £86,000) from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden at a gala ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall on 26 Aug.
