This Network Ten report by Angela Bishop from the 2002 ARIA Awards ceremony shows stars walking the red carpet in front of the Sydney Opera House as excitement builds ahead of the ceremony.
Kylie scooped up five awards on the night, including highest selling album for the 2001 release Fever and highest selling single, 'Can’t Get You Out of My Head’.
Kylie made the trip from London to Sydney for the ceremony and we see a snippet of her emotional speech as she accepts her Outstanding Achievement award from Molly Meldrum and gives a shout-out to her dad.
This story was broadcast on Southern Cross Nightly News, Launceston on 16 October 2002. In 2011, Kylie was also inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
