He was named songwriter of the year, and was described as &#8220;one of the UK&#8217;s most important songwriters&#8221;.Following her comeback success last year with the album \u2018West End Girl\u2019, Lily Allen was awarded the outstanding song collection prize for &#8220;one of the most distinctive and impressive catalogues in British music across the last two decades&#8221;.Elsewhere, Scottish folk singer-songwriter Jacob Alon won both the rising star award and the prize for best song musically and lyrically, for \u2018Don&#8217;t Fall Asleep\u2019.\u00a0A moving\u00a0moment during last night\u2019s ceremony came when George Michael was inducted into the fellowship of The Ivors Academy, nine years after his death. The artist follows in the footsteps of artists including Paul McCartney, Kate Bush and Bruce Springsteen.The award was accepted on his behalf by his former Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley and lifelong friend Chris Organ.\u00a0The Academy said that the fellowship celebrates his &#8220;excellence and impact in the art and craft of music creation, and his enduring influence worldwide&#8221;.\u00a0Also awarded the Fellowship was\u00a0Radiohead&#8217;s frontman Thom Yorke,\u00a0honoured for his &#8220;extraordinary craft in music creation with Radiohead and across his solo career&#8221;. He was described by the Academy\u00a0as &#8220;one of the defining songwriters of his generation.&#8221;\u00a0Another special moment came when Sir Elton John was announced as the Ivors Academy&#8217;s first-ever president.\u00a0Lola Young presented Sir Elton with the honour for his &#8220;outstanding work championing songwriters, composers, and creativity across the music industry&#8221;.\u00a0He accepted the honour and told the audience and his fellow artists: &#8220;No matter what kind of music you write, it&#8217;s yours, you own it&#8230; It came from your soul, it means a hell of a lot to you.
