Kylie Receives Music Industry Trust Award
Kylie Minogue received her Music Industry Trust award, at a ceremony in London on 29 October 2007. She is the first woman to be honoured with the award, in recognition of her 20-year career as a pop star.
This is the 16th year of these awards, whose committee called the star "one of the great entertainers of all time" and "an icon of pop and style".
Kylie had her first chart topping hit when her debut single, I Should Be Lucky topped the charts in 1987. In a fitting tribute, Kylie closed the ceremony with a performance of that single, her first hit, accompanied on piano by Jamie Cullum. She releases her 10th studio album in November 2007.
"Kylie has a unique place in this country's heart and an appeal that seems to grow ever wide. Kylie deserves this award for her success over 20 years, staying at the top in one of the toughest professions and inspiring millions with her grace, dignity and humanity," said chairman of the awards committee, Dave Munns.
"There is no doubt that of our 15 award recipients to date, Kylie is by far the most glamorous."
