To honour an incredible 53-year career, the legendary photographer Jill Furmanovsky collected this year’s prestigious ICON Award. The award was presented on stage by Noel Gallagher and Edith Bowman with Nile Rodgers, Debbie Harry, David Gilmour, Siouxsie Sioux and Sting also sending affecting video tributes.

Noel Gallagher says of Jill Furmanovsky “Best photographer ever!”

Jill has captured some of Abbey Road’s most iconic moments, including Pink Floyd's 1975 Wish You Were Here recording sessions and Oasis' Be Here Now sessions in 1997. In 2017, she became Abbey Road's first-ever photographer in residence, before joining the judging panel for the MPAs' inaugural awards in 2022.

Throughout her career, Furmanovsky has collaborated with a roster of music legends, from Bob Marley and Led Zeppelin to Joy Division, Amy Winehouse, The Pretenders, and Blondie.
