According to the BBC, UK hard rock legends have QUEEN been awarded BMI medals.
At London's Dorchester Hotel, the performing right body honoured a host of songwriters, composers and music publishers of the songs most performed in the US over the past year.
Brian May and Roger Taylor were there in person to collect the Icon Award.
"I'm very, very happy," May told 6 Music News. "It means a lot I think especially because it is an american award and although we were married to America for a long time, we never really did much in terms of awards. We're not bursting with Grammys, so it's nice to have that tribute from our peers."He also revealed that there are two Queen films in the pipeline: "One is about Freddie and one is the movie version of We Will Rock You. Plus we uncle the We Will Rock You shows around the world. We keep very much hands on on those things and there just seems to be endless stuff to do."
Adding: "Both films are really in the early stages but we have good scripts in each case, it's just a case of putting everything else together."
