Queen Awarded The Polar Music Prize 2025!
Stockholm, Sweden - Tues, 27 May 2025: Three musical icons were honoured with the The Polar Music Prize 2025 tonight at a gala ceremony held in Stockholm, Sweden. Queen, Herbie Hancock and Barbara Hannigan.
On receiving the Polar Music Prize, Queen’s Roger Taylor said: “When we started our band…we had ambitions, but never dreamed of the journey that was to follow. We were fortunate in the fact that our four wildly different personalities came together to achieve a wonderful chemistry.
“The Polar Music Prize is exceptional in the fact that unlike other awards it recognises the entirety of an artiste’s career. What an honour to be included in the glittering cavalcade of previous laureates. True Olympian company indeed. We are so proud to be the recipients of this incredibly prestigious award.”
Brian May thanked Sweden on behalf of Queen, and added: “In this special moment, I contemplate how that younger Brian May in 1974 would have felt if he knew that we would be living this kind of dream 50 years in the future.”
