PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd will be flying to the Northern Territory on Sunday to pay tribute to Mr Yunupingu at his state funeral.

The former lead singer of Yothu Yindi will be remembered at a service at Gulkula in northeast Arnhem Land.

A spokeswoman for Mr Rudd confirmed he would be attending the ceremony and is expected to arrive in the Northern Territory sometime before noon.

Mr Yunupingu, an Aboriginal elder, educator and 1992 Australian of the Year, died aged 56 at his home in the small town of Yirrkala on June 2.

He was the first indigenous person from Arnhem Land to gain a university degree and the Northern Territory's first Aboriginal school principal when he was appointed head of Yirrkala Community School in 1990.
