    The American singer has been chosen along with four others, including Russian punk band Pussy Riot and the late writer Christopher Hitchens, to receive the biennial LennonOno Grant for Peace.

    Gaga is expected to accept the award and a donation from Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, in Reykjavik, Iceland, on Oct. 9, the birthday of John Lennon and his son Sean.
