Michael Buble to host the Brit Awards ceremony in 2017
Michael Buble has confirmed he is going to be
the new host of the Brit Awards, starting with the 2017 ceremony.
"I belong
to the UK. They made me," he told BBC News.
"So to be
honoured by being asked to do something like the Brits, it's a privilege, it
really is."
Although Buble has
been nominated for a Brit three times, he has yet to pick up one of the prizes
himself - although he has won numerous Grammy and Juno awards.
"It's a
huge honour for me to host such a big night in music," the Canadian singer
said in a statement.
"Even
though I didn't grow up as a Brit I've always been well aware of the Brit
Awards and their impact globally.
"As a fan
of music this is the perfect gig. I'm very much looking forward to February and
celebrating the success stories of a great year in music."
"So to be able to be honoured by being asked to do something like the Brits, it's a privilege, it really is”

Brits boss and
Sony Music chairman Jason Iley said: "This is a huge coup for the Brit
Awards and we are delighted to announce Michael as our host for 2017.
"He is an
extremely talented and charismatic world-class entertainer, much loved by the
British public.
"Michael
will add an exciting element to our show in 2017."
For the past
couple of years the awards have been presented by Anthony McPartlin and Declan
Donnelly.
Previous hosts
include Kylie Minogue and RuPaul.
