Posted July 15, 200817 yr http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/entertainment...-tour-australia Pop princess Kylie Minogue is in talks to bring her highly acclaimed KylieX2008 tour home to Australia by the end of the year. Music promoter and chairman of Frontier Touring, Michael Gudinski, said he hopes Minogue will play for Australian audiences in December this year, following the completion of her 53-date European tour in August. "If everything can work out there's every possibility we will do some dates later this year," Gudinski told AAP in Manchester. "How many dates we can do, and how many cities we do, and that stuff, will have to be worked out - it's an absolutely gigantic production, it really is like taking theatre on the road. "But from Frontier's point of view, I'm going to make every effort possible to make sure it happens." The 21-nation KylieX2008 tour has received rave reviews in the UK and Europe. London newspaper The Independent this week called Minogue a "pop genius" and said: "Pop is the highest of the arts because it encompasses all the others ... (and Kylie) is the ultimate practitioner of this ultimate discipline ... (and) on the issue of her supremacy, I won't give an inch." Gudinski, who signed Minogue to his record label Mushroom Records in 1987 after hearing her debut single Locomotion, said he tried to discuss bringing the KylieX2008 tour to Australia during Minogue's 40th birthday celebrations in May. She and her management were not willing to consider it then, he said. "Today was the first time that we've ever had any real discussion about whether it could happen, and we had a good talk today," Gudinski said. "She would really like it to come to Australia ... and I just think it would be absolutely unfair to her Australian fans not to see what is the most amazing production I've seen. "Australia is her home country and she should be so proud of what she's doing." Minogue got a taste of home on Monday night, meeting with fellow Aussies, music guru Molly Meldrum, RocKwiz host Julia Zemiro and radio personality Jonathan Coleman backstage before the third show of a six-night run in Manchester. Dressed down in harem pants, sandals and a singlet, Minogue looked relaxed and happy as she chatted about the latest AFL results and being awarded an OBE at Buckingham Palace. "It was such a unique experience," Minogue said of receiving the Order of the British Empire from Prince Charles on July 4.
July 15, 200817 yr It wouldn't suprise me if this were true. It's not like her to disregard fans like that. And Australia has had a poo end of the stick for a while now (no White Diamond DVD, no promotion whatsoever etc). She even bought Intimate and Live to the UK even though the album effectively bombed and just three people actually bought it :P (:cry:) Edited July 15, 200817 yr by Glyn
