If you were under the impression that the Classic BRITs was more sophisticated than its pop counterpart, you might be interested to learn that this year a special Artist Of The Decade award will be dished out to Simon Cowell-manufactured opera boyband Il Divo.

The group’s David Miller said of the award: “When we joined Il Divo none of us had done anything like this before. We were excited to break from our traditional roots and create something new. The immediate and overwhelmingly positive response from the public gave us even more encouragement to continue our journey. Performing and recording are what we love, but receiving this award is a great honour”.

As previously reported, the Classic BRIT Awards will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on 12 May.
