Kylie Minogue has been diagnosed with breast cancer and has
cancelled her upcoming Australian tour, the Frontier Touring company
said on Tuesday.
The Frontier Touring Company, promoters of Minogue's Australian
tour, confirmed the sell-out Showgirl series of concerts had been
postponed due to health reasons.
A statement from Minogue's management said the 36-year-old's
diagnosis was confirmed this week during a visit to Melbourne.
"Whilst at home in Melbourne with her family this week prior to her
Australian Showgirl Tour, Kylie was diagnosed with early breast
cancer," the statement said.
"She will undergo immediate treatment and consequently her
Australian tour will not be able to proceed as planned.
"Kylie said: `I was so looking forward to bringing the Showgirl tour
to Australian audiences, and am sorry to have to disappoint my fans.
Nevertheless, hopefully all will work out fine and I'll be back with
you all again soon'."
The Showgirl Tour was to have included performances in Sydney,
Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth over the next month.
