Evanescence gets “Life” Sentence from BMI

Evanescence lead singer Amy Lee (left) is pleased to receive a plaque from BMI congratulating the band on the worldwide success of their breakthrough hit, "Bring Me To Life." The song is from their multi-platinum debut CD, Fallen (Wind-Up), and has been at the top of the charts for more than 30 weeks.

Seen here at a private label party before their sold-out show at New York's Webster Hall are Lee, BMI's Samantha Cox, Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody and BMI's J.W. Johnson.

BMI represents more than 500,000 songwriters, composers, and publishers with more than 7.5 million works.
