“I’m delighted to be a part of this fantastic event which does so much to help disabled children in the UK.” said Kylie.
With a musical career spanning over three decades and worldwide record sales of over 70million, Kylie’s success includes seven UK Number No.1 singles and four UK No.1 albums, making her one of the UK’s bestselling female artists of all time.
