Aussie pop star Kylie Minogue diagnosed with breast cancer
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Australian pop star Kylie Minogue has been diagnosed with breast cancer, a spokeswoman for the company promoting her Australian tour said Tuesday.
The spokeswoman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the company, Frontier Touring, only learned of the diagnosis early Tuesday.
Further details were not immediately available.
Her tour of Australia was postponed following the announcement.
A statement from Minogue's management said the 36-year-old's diagnosis was confirmed this week during a visit to the southern Australian city of 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.''
In the statement, Minogue 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. - AP
