Standing ovation for BB King \u003cbr/\u003eThe blues singer B.B.King received the 2004 Polar Music Prize from King Carl XVI Gustaf last night and even though the star is considered by critics and fans alike as blues royalty, King said that he was nervous about meeting a real monarch. \u003cbr/\u003eKing, 78, and Hungarian-born composer Gyoergy Ligeti were selected for the annual prize by the Royal Swedish Academy of Music earlier this year. 80-year-old Ligeti had to cancel his trip because of illness.\u003cbr/\u003eLigeti, who lived in Sweden during the 1960s, was \"very unhappy that he's not able to be here,\" Louise Duchesneua said. \"He was looking forward so much to be able to show off his Swedish.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe 1 million kronor (US$130,887) award, founded in 1989 by Stig Anderson, manager of Swedish pop group ABBA, is typically split between pop artists and classical musicians. Previous winners include Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Isaac Stern, Bruce Springsteen, Pierre Boulez and Quincy Jones.\u003cbr/\u003eThe academy cited King for his \"significant contributions to the blues\" and a \"total dedication to his music, a rich recording history and tireless touring lasting more than half a century (that has) made him one of the most prominent figures within the blues.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAt a press conference, King said he takes his moniker as \"king of the blues\" lightly:\u003cbr/\u003e\"I never argue with (the ones who say it), but my dad gave me the name,\" he said. \"I've never called myself the king.\"\u003cbr/\u003eKing said he will donate much of the prize money to charity, but jokingly added that \"B.B. King is not rich. I'd like to have a hamburger myself.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAhead of the ceremony, the bluesman will play a sold-out show at Stockholm's concert house. When asked if he has considered retiring, he roundly dismissed any plans:\u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm afraid if I use the word 'retire,' people ... won't let me back in anymore,\" he said. \"I'm not like those boxers. If I get knocked down, I'm gonna still come back next week.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
