Posted June 12, 200718 yr Kylie to receive Mits Award 11 June 2007 - 10:43:35 Source: Music Week Kylie Minogue is making her own breakthrough for female equality by becoming the first woman to be honoured in the 16-year history of the Music Industry Trusts’ Award. Nearly 20 years after scoring her first UK hit with I Should Be So Lucky, the Australian will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Sir George Martin and John Barry when she receives the honour on Monday, October 29, in a ceremony at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. The night will be in aid of the Brit Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. The decision to honour her comes in the wake of a triumphant comeback by the star following her battle with breast cancer. "It is an incredible honour to be the recipient of this year’s Music Industry Trusts’ Award and I am truly thrilled to be recognised in this way," says Minogue, who has scored more than 40 hit singles in the UK, putting her behind only a handful of female artists such as Madonna and Diana Ross. "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." Awards committee chairman David Munns says, "There is no doubt that, of our 15 award recipients to date, Kylie is by far the most glamorous and we’re delighted to present her with the 2007 Music Industry Trusts’ Award. She deserves this award for her success over 20 years, staying at the top in one of the toughest professions and inspiring millions with her grace, dignity and humanity."
