Annie Lennox received an Award Of Merit at American Music Awards.

Justin Timberlake presented the award to Lennox and had some nice things to say:

"The Award of Merit is being given tonight to an artist who means a lot to me personally. There are certain musicians that other musicians love, and she is one of those special artists, held in the highest regard by her peers,” MTV UK reported.

 

"l love that she's always been on the cutting edge of fashion, she's always looked so so cool and taught us how to look cool. Then there's her humanitarian work. She's been an activist for just causes all over the world, mostly in silent ways that you've never even heard about. She does this from her heart, motivated purely by love," Timberlake said.

Annie Lennox has endured physiotherapy over the past months, after she was diagnosed with an impinged nerve. The physiotherapy helped her walk again.

Nevertheless, the Eurythmics singer performed an emotional show that had the crowd on their feet.

"It's been an incredible journey - music, my friends, my accompaniment through my life, so much of my life. Much of that was with Dave Stewart, of the Eurythmics and it is very important that I say half of the award goes to Dave also," the honoured Annie Lennox said.

"Thank you so much for this. I never thought that I would live to see the day that I could be 53-years-old, standing on the stage and so many people have inspired me in this experience and too many to mention."
