Noel has confirmed he will pick up the award at the ceremony which will take place at the Brixton Academy in London on 29th February.

Noel said "I would like to thank the NME for bestowing upon me such a great accolade.  I have dreamt of this moment since I was 43 years old.  I accept that I am now a genius, just like God."

NME editor Krissi Murison said "For the best part of two decades, the voice of one man has dominated the pages of NME more than any other.  His songwriting has defined a generation, and for that reason I am incredibly happy to declare Noel NME's Godlike Genius.  That he keeps pushing boundaries as a solo artist proves that there's a long way to go in the story of one of the most talented musicians Britain has ever produced."
