Yoko Ono Wins Life Time Achievement Honour

John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has received a lifetime achievement honour at the Mojo magazine awards in London, the first music prize of her career.

Ono, more used to flak from Beatles fans who thought her main achievement was to cause the band to split, thanked Mojo for their "courageous" decision.

With Lennon and on her own, she has made two dozen albums in 41 years.

"It's really great that I went on stage and people were very warm towards me, I didn't expect that," she said.

After picking up the accolade, she added: "For the longest time I never expected people to be so warm when I get on stage."

Asked what her late husband would have made of the award, Ono replied: "He would have said, 'I told you so, man.'

"He was the only person who was really believing and promoting my work. Without that I might have been pretty discouraged."

'Terrible press'
