NEW YORK, April 4 (UPI) -- Singer Neil Young, recovering from brain surgery in New York City, was celebrated at Canada's Juno Awards.

K.D. Lang sang Young's "Helpless" during Sunday's ceremony in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and described the Toronto-born singer as "an artist who has maintained his integrity, vision and purity," NME.com reported Monday.

Young had planned to perform at Canada's version of the Grammy Awards, but was advised by doctors not to travel after having survery for a brain aneurysm last Tuesday.

"I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to make it to Winnipeg for the Junos as I had hoped," Young said. "I grew up there and was really looking forward to the show as well as spending some time with my old friends and family."
