Kylie MinogueIllness forces Kylie Minogue to cancel 2 concerts during comeback tourLONDON (AP) - A respiratory infection has forced Kylie Minogue to cancel two concerts on her comeback tour following treatment for breast cancer. The Australian singer only managed to perform half of a scheduled 2½-hour concert Saturday in Manchester, northern England, because of the infection, spokesman John Bills said. On Sunday, a spokesman for the Manchester Evening News arena, where Minogue was performing her Showgirl Homecoming tour, said doctors had advised her to cancel shows Monday and Tuesday. Bills said there was no connection to Minogue's recovery from treatment for breast cancer, which led to a 1½-year hiatus before a comeback tour that began in Sydney, Australia, in November. Minogue, 38, was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2005. She underwent successful surgery in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia, that month, followed by five months of chemotherapy in Paris.

Kylie Minogue cuts show short due to fluAustralian singer Kylie Minogue was forced to cut short a performance on her comeback tour following treatment for breast cancer because she was suffering from flu, her publicist said. The London-based diva managed to perform only half of a scheduled two-hour concert in Manchester, northern England, on Saturday evening, spokesman John Bills said. "Several members of the crew, the tour manager and Kylie have been suffering from flu - but she didn't want to let anyone down. She wanted to try to get through the show, but had to cut it short," he said.

Kylie Minogue sparks new fears for her healthAussie singer and breast cancer survivor Kylie Minogue has been told by doctors "not to perform in the immediate future" because of a chest infection and will cancel her next two shows, according to a statement issued by her record company reports People Magazine. Kylie Minogue walked off stage on 14.01.07 sparking new fears for her health. The Australian singer, who beat breast cancer last year, was forced to cut short the latest concert on her 'Showgirl Homecoming' tour, in Manchester, after just 45 minutes telling fans she was ill with flu. However, her early exit has left her friends and family concerned she is trying to do too much. A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "It's awoken some of our worst fears again. There are definite concerns she has taken on too much and can't cope with this pace. Everyone gets flu from time to time. But during the initial months after beating cancer, it's vital to keep well. "When Kylie announced she wanted to tour again, there was concern among her friends and family that it was too much, too soon." Kylie, 38, apologized to the 20,000 fans at Manchester's MEN Arena for her early departure. The concert was her 29th show of a grueling 33-date tour of the UK and Australia. A spokesman for the venue said: "Kylie has a respiratory tract infection." Doctors have advised the diminutive pop star not to try to perform again too soon. Kylie has canceled her shows scheduled for tonight (15.01.07) and Tuesday (16.01.07) but hopes to be well enough to return to stage soon. Her record label insists shows scheduled for next Thursday and Friday will proceed as planned and the canceled gigs will be rescheduled. "Whilst we await the all clear from her doctors we wish her a speedy recovery and hope to be able to confirm her return to the stage soon," said the EMI statement.
