vocalist

Bassist Vincent Price, drummer Ill Will and rhythm guitarist Juan of the Dead round out the lineup with Ice’s son, Little Ice, his middle child, the band’s hype man and backing vocalist since 2016.

Lainey Wilson, who co-hosted the awards show with Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, was named female vocalist of the year and earned the award for music video of the year for “Wildflowers and Wild Horses.”

It wasn’t just country musicians in Nashville - Olympic gymnast Simone Biles also made an appearance, presenting the award for female vocalist of the year.

Finally, the first new song in six years by Sade Adu — the inimitable lead vocalist of the legendary group Sade — is a candid, extraordinarily moving ballad dedicated to her son, Izaak.

Earlier this month, the band asked for understanding from fans, with guitarist and vocalist Jez Williams saying that while Goodwin was "doing great" he was "still not out of the woods".
