Organisers of the Music Industry Trusts' Awards have announced that Kylie Minogue will be honoured at their 2007 event, which takes place in London in October. The awards committee said they had chosen to present an award to Minogue because she was "one of the great entertainers of all time" and "an icon of pop and style". Minogue has described the award as "an incredible honour", adding: "As well as being a fantastic evening, this award ceremony also raises much needed funds for The Brit Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, and it is a pleasure for me to be involved".
The Music Industry Trusts Awards which, as Kylie just said, are staged to raise money for The Brit Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, present awards to a range of people connected to the music industry, both performers and people working behind the scenes. They shouldn't be confused with the Silver Clef awards, which are also staged in aid of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, and which take place later this month.
