Bruce Springsteen became the first international songwriter to be awarded a fellowship of the Ivors Academy in its 80-year history – but he had to put up with some ribbing from one of his most famous peers first.
At the Ivor Novello Awards ceremony at Grosvenor House in London Thursday night, Springsteen was inducted into the fellowship by Paul McCartney, who was the academy’s first-ever fellow. The ceremony wasn’t broadcast, but the BBC reported the former Beatle as telling the audience he “couldn’t think of a more fitting” recipient of the fellowship – “except maybe Bob Dylan … Or Paul Simon, or Billy Joel, or Beyoncé, or Taylor Swift.
“There is no one more fitting than Bruce Springsteen to be the first international songwriter inducted into our Fellowship,” Tom Gray, chair of the academy, said in a press release. “Songwriters are powerful storytellers, who capture our lives, loves and hardships. Bruce has always told the greatest stories.
