\nBilly, 70 – who was handed the award by Leon Thomas – said in his speech: “To any kid out there who loves rock and roll or any music of any kind as much as Leon and I do, and if you’re inspired to create that sense of freedom and pursue a life of art, all I can say is pick an instrument. Find out who you are and be it.”<\/p>\n
