(Jam!) Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf presented the 2008 Polar Music Prize to American soprano Renee Fleming and Pink Floyd band members Nick Mason and Roger Waters for their contributions to popular music and opera.

Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said at the ceremony Tuesday that the British rock band had made "a monumental contribution . . . and captured the mood and spirit of a whole generation in their reflections and attitudes."
