Christina Aguilera will be honoured with the People's Voice 2013 award.

The prize will be given to the vocal star at the People's Choice Awards, which are due to be held in Los Angeles on January 9.

It will pay tribute to the singer's contribution to the music industry, with her career spanning fourteen years so far.

Aguilera will also perform on the night - something which People's Choice Awards executive producer Mark Burnett seems to be excited about. He said:

"I am thrilled to announce that Christina Aguilera is joining Jason Aldean as a performer at the People's Choice Awards."

Burnett continued: "Christina is one of my dearest friends and lights up literally every stage she steps onto. And I am so glad that I get to work with the amazing Jason Aldean again. I cannot wait to see these performances live on show night!"

The Voice US coach is also nominated in the awards' Favourite Celebrity Judge category.
