Kylie Minogue has been awarded one of France's top high-brow awards for her “contribution to the enrichment of French culture”. Kylie will travel to Paris this weekend to receive the 'Chevalier dans L’ordre des Arts et Lettres' (Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters) from the French Minister of Culture at a ceremony this Monday. She then opens her new X World Tour the day after in the city. Kylie is following in the illustrious footsteps of the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford and T. S. Eliot who have all won the award before. 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 will also be celebrating the release of her new single In My Arms on Monday, the third to be taken from her current album X, the Aussie popstrel's 10th. Culture News Blog Comment:
Culture Club was an English new romantic pop group in the 1980s. The band comprised Boy George (vocals), Mikey Craig (bass guitar), Roy Hay (guitar and keyboards), and Jon Moss (drums and percussion). The release of their third single "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", which was a reggae-influenced number, rose to #1 in the UK in late 1982 and was an international hit, bursting charts at #1 in over a dozen countries. Today culture club has become such a popular name that whenever anything concerned with culture is there anywhere in the world, we associate it with a hypothetical culture-club of that country or city or the continent.
