Kylie Recipient Of O2 Silver Clef Award

She said: “I am thrilled and honoured to be receiving the 25th Anniversary O2 Silver Clef Award from Nordoff Robbins. The work that Nordoff Robbins does, using music therapy to transform the lives of vulnerable children and adults is amazing.

“This will be a special event and I am delighted to be able to attend and reunite with many friends too.”

The annual event recognises musical talent whilst raising money and awareness for the national specialist music charity which uses music to transform the lives of vulnerable children and adults.

Other attendees for this year's ceremony include Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jessie J, Tinie Tempah, Emeli Sande, Conor Maynard, Tom Jones, Fatboy Slim, Manic Street Preachers, Michael Buble and Laura Wright.

David Munns, Chairman, Nordoff Robbins said: “Kylie Minogue is a legend and also an international treasure!

"Her success across the music industry has been meteoric from the start and she is the obvious choice for our unique 25th Anniversary O2 Silver Clef Award. We are thrilled to be celebrating her success.”

The awards ceremony was established 37 years ago and has since raised over £8m for Nordoff Robbins. Munns said: “Our music therapy work is life changing but we need to raise more funds to continue to reach those who need it the most.”
