Jones To Receive Music Industry Honour

The crooner will follow in the footsteps of Sir Elton John, Kylie Minogue and Peter Gabriel when he is handed the prestigious honour at a ceremony in London in November (10).

And Jones, who turns 70 on 7 June (10), admits the tribute is a fitting way to celebrate his upcoming birthday.

He says, "2010 is shaping up to be a very memorable year for me. I'm delighted to be honoured with the Music Industry Trust's award and to join the roll-call of some great past honourees."

The ceremony will take place on 1 November (10) and will raise money for music charities the BRIT Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy.
