[ # ] The tour is taking it’s toll on Kylie Minogue
November 13th, 2006 under Kylie Minogue, Sick Bay

KYLIE MINOGUE was forced to pull out of a gig with U2 yesterday with exhaustion. The Aussie star is worn out after giving her all on the opening dates of her rescheduled Showgirl Homecoming Tour. She had promised to sing with BONO to thank him for joining her on stage for a duet at her gig on Sunday night. But the Pop Princess, recovering from breast cancer, wasn’t up to performing in Sydney at the Dublin super-group’s gig. A source said: “Kylie called Bono to explain that she had worn herself out. She is really feeling the physical effects of her return to the stage. “He told her to spend Monday resting, get her energy levels fully restored and relax. “It wasn’t a problem at all. Everyone realises Kylie is putting herself through the mill for her tour.” Bono did perform a tribute to Kylie, singing a verse of Can’t Get You Out Of My Head — complete with an embarrassing jig to go with it. I think Kylie is incredibly brave, throwing herself into her physically demanding tour dates. It is barely 18 months since she was diagnosed and just weeks since doctors told her she was winning her cancer battle. But taking on two-and-a-half-hour performances three times a week is a big ask — even if it was a singer at the peak of physical fitness. Kylie was snapped yesterday going out for a walk in Sydney in a little brown dress. She was pale but still had a smile for photographers — as she has done throughout her illness. You can only admire Kylie for honouring her tour dates with her loyal home-country fans. I just hope the pressure and physical stress she endures on the remaining dates don’t set back her recovery. Megastar Bono summed up the feelings so many people have for the former Neighbours star when I met him earlier this year. He told me: “I would lay rose petals on the ground she walks on.”

I hope she has the strenght to get through the tour without any complications. You go girl!
