Last Tuesday, October 9th 2012, Lady Gaga was awarded a peace prize by Yoko Ono in a ceremony in Iceland.
Yoko Ono said the LennonOno Grant for Peace, established in the name of her late husband, former Beatle John Lennon, rewarded Lady Gaga for combining stardom with activism and changing “the mental map” of the world.
Lady Gaga said she would continue to “communicate compassionately to the world and its leaders,” and dedicated the award to “youth empowerment around the world.”
