Andrea Bocelli to Receive Classic Brit Honour

Their Christmas number one, Wherever You Are, makes them the first group to be nominated for both a Classic Brit and a Brit Award.

Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, composers Paul Mealor and Ennio Morricone, tenor Noah Stewart and guitarist Milos Karadaglic have landed multiple nominations for the prestigious British music awards too.

Hollywood composer John Williams will be honoured at the prizegiving event with a Lifetime Achievement Award, while he will also compete for Composer of the Year with Morricone and Mealor.
