Prince Tribute – Madonna & Stevie Wonder

To honour music legend Prince, Billboard tapped two other music legends – Madonna and Stevie Wonder. Even though the reception to their performance was lukewarm, the two stars gave the performance their all and it was one of the most talked about highlights of the night.

Celine Dion’s First Performance

48-year-old singer Celine Dion had an emotional moment on stage after she was presented with the Icon Award by her son. She got emotional with him standing by her side as she shared how she is constantly trying to be strong for her family.
