The video tribute is led by choreographer Andrea Walker, from Brighton with videographer Ben Mark Films to create a dance video to her latest single “New York City”, celebrating young LGBTQ+ life in Brighton.

Hide AdAndrea Walker, choreographer, said: “Kylie has been a massively influential artist in my life and my career. She shaped my adolescence with songs like “In Your Eyes” and “Red Blooded Woman”, and has stuck by me till today with hits such as “All the Lovers”, “Timebomb” and “Dancing”.
"She has always been outspoken about her support for the LGBT+ community. Growing up in Italy as a gay teen wasn't easy, and Kylie's support never went unnoticed to me, as I’m sure it didn’t to thousands other LGBT+ individuals around the world. We love you Kylie, thank you for your music, your talent, and for being the inspirational artist you are.”
