Bob Dylan is poised to receive a prestigious accolade. The legendary singer has been named the 2015 MusiCares Person of the Year, the charity organisation announced Tuesday.
Dylan, 73, will be honoured for his artistic achievements by both MusiCares and the Recording Academy -- the same organization which holds the Grammys each year -- during a special ceremony in Los Angeles on February 6, two days before the big awards show.
“In celebrating the 25th anniversary of our MusiCares Person of the Year tribute, it is most fitting that we are honouring Bob Dylan, whose body of creative work has contributed to America’s culture, as well as that of the entire world, in genuinely deep and lasting ways,” said Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the MusiCares Foundation and the Recording Academy.
