Since then, the award’s individual honorees have included singer Brandi Carlile and actor Billy Porter — and has now evolved into the Elton John Impact Awards. Over the course of five years, ‘Can’t Cancel Pride’ raised over $17 million for LGBTQ+ nonprofits. The first group of honorees in the expanded awards are Jonathan Bailey, Laverne Cox, Melissa Etheridge, Billie Jean King, Orville Peck and Chappell Roan. Each will be presented with a gold-plated trophy inspired by John’s famous bling-y eyewear.
