SAD NEWS - Kylie Minogue - Breast Cancer

Kylie Minogue has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The pop princess' management released a statement last night confirming the news and announcing that the Australian leg of Kylie's Showgirl tour will now be postponed while she receives treatment.

"Whilst at home in Melbourne with her family this week prior to her Australian Showgirl tour, Kylie was diagnosed with early breast cancer.

She will undergo immediate treatment and consequently her Australian tour will not be able to proceed as planned," read the statement.

Kylie herself added: "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."
