Kylie prepares for Homecoming

 

KYLIE Minogue is finally coming out of the "haze" that enveloped her during her battle with breast cancer and has dreamt about taking to the stage in her Sydney comeback show.

 

The pop princess was upbeat about her health in a candid interview on cancer, marriage rumours and her reworked Homecoming tour yesterday. "Things are looking good," Minogue told The Daily Telegraph.

 

"I don't know what to compare it to, but it's not something where they say 'you're better' and you're better, it's an ongoing process.

 

"But it's such an important part of recovery to get on and do what you do and be who you are. I'm finally starting to come out of that haze."

 

The Australian leg of Minogue's Showgirl greatest hits tour was postponed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May last year. Only a small number of tickets were returned.

 

"I feel like there's unfinished business," Minogue said. "Which makes it feel like it's a duty and partly I feel it is, because people have been so loyal and showed me so much hope in the fact they held on to their tickets. I feel really inspired, more than I have for quite a while."

 

Minogue said her ordeal had made her embrace her musical career more than ever.

 

As well as working on the revamped Homecoming version of her greatest hits tour, Minogue has released a children's book, is set to launch her perfume range Darling during her Australian tour and has been recording a new album which she says is a return to "sexy pop".

 

"I'm sure I'm going to look back on this period and go, 'How on earth did I do that?' I'm not a year out of recovery and I'm recording and doing photo shoots and we've filmed new stuff for the screens for the show. I've hardly stopped.

 

"Not to panic people that I'm overdoing it, but I've been doing quite a lot. I'm trying to build up my strength," she said.

 

Minogue's reworked tour will be adapted to suit her health, with less gruelling dance moves and more rest between shows.

 

"There's certain things I can't do but I don't think that will make it less of a show, it will be more of a show," she said.

 

Minogue said she was keen to see how her body would cope when she returned to the stage.

 

She will have all new costumes for the tour and, despite rumours on the internet, said she won't wear wigs.

 

"It would seem wrong to create the illusion that I am the way I was before. I've had such good response to my short hair and there's not much I can do about that at the moment anyway. I want to feel light and free."

 

Minogue revealed the Australian tour would feature a brand new song, tipped to be White Diamond, written with Jake Shears and Babydaddy of the Scissor Sisters.

 

The song is said to touch on her health battle, using the diamond as a metaphor for strength and resilience.

 

The singer also denied simultaneous rumours actor boyfriend Olivier Martinez would be marrying her in December and also was refusing to marry her for six years.

 

"How many times can I get married?" Minogue said, laughing.

 

The singer said she had dreamt about her comeback show in Sydney on November 11.

 

"I don't know what that moment I get back on stage is going to be like. I might be the only one who keeps it together, who knows?"

 

Kylie opens her Showgirl Homecoming tour at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on November 11, 12 and 14 and returns for three shows at the Acer Arena on November 23, 24 and 26. Limited tickets to all shows still available.

Prob so. More rumours wil appear I'm sure. It's silly.
Nice to see some news posted here for once :lol:
Is White Diamond her official new single or is it just a rumour
There are a few rumours on the new single which always happens. We will just have to wait until the offical confirmation
It means there is something extra to look forward to if it is performed
