KYLIE HONOURED WITH FRENCH CULTURAL AWARD!
 |
05.05.2008
Kylie was awarded her second prestigious official honour of 2008 when she received the 'Chevalier Dans L'Orde Des Arts Et Des Lettres' (Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters) from the French Government this morning. Kylie will receive her OBE from Her Majesty The Queen in July.
Kylie was awarded one of the highest cultural awards possible from France for her "contribution to the enrichment of French culture". The award was personally presented to Kylie by the French Minister of Culture and Communications.
Kylie was the sole recipient at today's ceremony but joins the illustrious rank of past artists and writers who have been honoured including Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford and T. S. Eliot.
Kylie said: "I am deeply honoured to be recognised in this way. French culture has influenced me greatly and I have always had colossal respect for the arts and people of France."
Kylie's world tour opens at the Paris Bercy tomorrow night!
