Janet Jackson is set to receive one of the most prestigious awards, to add to her list of already accepted awards. The 52-year-old singer will be heading to Bilbao, Spain on November 4th to accept this year's Global Icon Award at the MTV EMAs. Janet will also perform a set of her greatest hits including her recently released Daddy Yankee track, "Made For Now."
Janet is the ninth biggest-selling pop act of all time, the second most successful female act ever and the most searched person in internet history. Past EMA Icon award winners have been Whitney Houston, Green Day and U2.
"I think for a lot of [artists], the cameras and the accolades, all the attention, it validates them," Janet previously said. "And if they don't have it, I think they're completely lost. Is it addictive? I think it can be. But not for me."
