The multi-million-selling international superstar and pop phenomenon that is Kylie Minogue, will receive the accolade on Saturday 2nd March in recognition of a career that has spanned five decades and made her one of the world’s most successful and iconic music stars. Kylie is also nominated for International Artist of the Year and will be performing on the night together with the likes of Dua Lipa and RAYE.
Kylie told Brit Awards: "I am beyond thrilled to be honoured with the Global Icon Award and to be joining a roll call of such incredible artists. The UK has always been a home from home so the BRITs have a very special place in my heart. I have some amazing memories from the awards over the years and I can't wait to be back on the BRITs stage. See you at the O2!"
