World Music Awards: The Legend Award (1989-2014)

World Music Awards: 1989-2014

The official website offers annoying little information about the awards. It appears they were launched in 1989 and last awarded in 2014. A Legend award is given and while the website again maddeningly offers no details, it appears to be a lifetime achievement award. Here are the recipients of the Legends Award over the years and the year awarded when known. See other lifetime achievement awards.
