Blur will receive the prestigious O2 Silver Clef Award next month.

The ‘Narcissist’ hitmakers are among those set to be honoured by music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins at their annual O2 Silver Clef awards in London on 5 July, with AC/DC, Chaka Khan, Loyle Carner, Mark Knopfler, Young Fathers and Jacob Collier also newly-announced as receiving a prize at the ceremony.

As a band, we’ve been dishing out our own brand of music therapy for the past five decades, so to hear all about how Nordoff and Robbins helps the young and the old with the power of music is something that we understand and salute. Thank you for this honour.”

Chaka Khan will be given the Global Impact Award in recognition of her international influence.

She said: “Music has always been my solace, my strength, my voice, a gift. I’m grateful for this beautiful honour to be part of the Nordoff and Robbins creative community, where the power of music is used to transform, inspire, and bring love to the world. Music really does heal.”
