Madonna will be honored at this month's Billboard Awards.
The singer will be awarded the 'Top Touring Artist' prize at the ceremony, following the worldwide success of her MDNA Tour back in 2012.
The star headlined 88 dates across the globe with her 12th studio album, claiming 2012's top-grossing tour with takings of $350 million (£225m), reports Billboard. The shows caused controversy during the run, which included Madonna brandishing machine guns on stage and wearing a collection of revealing costumes.
MDNA topped the UK and US album charts upon its release last March and went on to ship 1.8 million copies by December 2012.
Madonna will appear at this year's Billboard Awards to accept the prize, with further performances from Prince, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Christina Aguilera and Justin Bieber. The ceremony will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 19.
A DVD release of the concert will be coming out later this year. Madonna's manager confirmed earlier this week that the DVD was still not ready, but Madonna's boyfriend Brahim shared with his Twitter followers that the footage looks "amazing". Can't wait!!!
