London, Oct 23 Singer Robbie Williams will receive top honour at the 30th Brit awards in London next year.

The star will be honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award and will close the show with a 'sensational' live performance at London's Earls Court.

The singer, who already holds the record for winning more Brits than any other artist, will pick up his new gong on February 16.

"Robbie is one of the outstanding artists and performers of his generation," the Sun quoted Ged Doherty, chairman of The BRITs Committee, as saying.

"It will be an absolute thrill to have him at the BRITs' 30th anniversary show receiving the Outstanding Contribution Award. We are delighted," Doherty added. (ANI)
