Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue is set to present Paul McCartney with his Outstanding Contribution To Music award at the Brits Awards this month, it has been revealed. And then Paul, 65, will close the star studded bash with a medley of his biggest hits.
A Brits insider said: "Macca will be chuffed. He and Kylie have grown close. They hit it off when they duetted at Jools Holland's Hootenanny on New Year’s Eve."
The multi-millionaire music legend is eager for his big night at the prestigious ceremony- and thinks this year’s Brits, at London's Earls Court on Wednesday, will be one of the best yet.
Speaking before his bitter High Court battle with estranged wife Heather Mills, the former Beatle apparently said that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are the best hosts the night has had in years. But Paul decided against a duet with Ozzy. He said: "You can either go for something wow or just do a couple of hits — I’ve opted for the latter.
"I’m quite happy to be just doing stuff that I hope the audience will like. I don’t want to go too interesting because it’s going to be at the end of the night.
"Just stick to the hits, boy. The audience will want to drink beer really. This year will be outstanding — because Ozzy is presenting," he said.
Paul also revealed he was a huge fan of Rihanna's smash hit single Umbrella, saying: “I hope she doesn’t sing something else. That would be the one we would all want to hear.
"I love that song and I wouldn’t like her to do another. So please Rihanna — hear my plea."
Paul also claimed he has a surprise up his sleeve — stripping. "I will be taking my shirt off, I’ll be taking everything off," he said.
