Kylie Minogue gets the Music Industry Trust award

Pop singer Kylie Minogue is receiving the coveted Music Industry Trust award at a London ceremony, and past winners of the award have included Sir Elton John and Peter Gabriel.

Australian star Kylie Minogue, 39, who beat breast cancer after being diagnosed with it in 2005, is being presented with this in honour of her incredible 20-year career.

Kylie Minogue called it an "incredible honour" and she is reported to have proudly said: "I am truly thrilled to be recognised in this way."

Kylie Minogue is receiving the Music Industry Trust award in "recognition of her universally acclaimed status as an icon of pop and style achieved over a 20 year career which has seen her reinvent, experiment and inspire."

Committee chairman David Munn said: "There is no doubt that of our 15 award recipients to date, Kylie is by far the most glamorous."

Kylie Minogue is looking forward to carrying on her success with the release of her next album in November.
