Kylie Minogue Honoured

The organising committee wants to recognise the Australian singer’s twenty years in the business.  Considered to be one of the most diverse stars of all time, the 39 year-old will be honoured on October 29 in London.

The 16th annual gala will also pay tribute to the work of Elton John and Peter Gabriel.

Minogue, who first came to stardom with the 1987 song I Should Be Lucky, is currently working on her 10th disc, which should be released at the end of the year.

Last year, the singer battled breast cancer and was forced to cancel her professional activities.

"one of the great entertainers of all time" and "an icon of pop and style".
