Kylie Minogue has hinted at a major tour to celebrate her 40th career anniversary, following a candid revelation about her second breast cancer diagnosis. The 57-year-old singer told the Sunday Times' Style magazine: “I’m probably not meant to say this, but yes I am,” when asked about touring.
In a separate interview with Rolling Stone, she suggested the tour could take place in 2027 or 2028, aligning with the 40th anniversary of her debut single 'Locomotion' in Australia (1987) and 'The Loco-Motion' internationally (1988).
The announcement comes after the release of a Netflix docuseries in which Minogue discussed her health struggles. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, undergoing a lumpectomy and chemotherapy. In 2021, she was diagnosed again but kept it private until recently.
“I was able to keep it to myself and go through that year,” she said. “I didn’t feel obliged to tell the world, and actually, I just couldn’t at the time, as I was a shell of a person.” She added that she eventually shared her story to encourage others to get checked.
Minogue also spoke about the impact of her first diagnosis on her plans to start a family, revealing she postponed chemotherapy to try IVF. “If it had happened it would have been just shy of a miracle. But it didn’t work out that way,” she said.
