Kylie MinogueSick Kylie reschedules shows
Pop princess Kylie Minogue has rescheduled two concerts in Manchester because of an infection. The two cancelled concerts will now go ahead at the Manchester Evening News Arena on January 21 and 22 The 38-year-old has been advised by doctors not to perform due to a "moderately severe" respiratory tract infection. It is hoped Kylie will have recovered enough to return to the stage later in the week. The two cancelled concerts will now go ahead at the Manchester Evening News Arena on January 21 and 22. She was forced to pull out half way through the second of six scheduled Showgirl Tour concerts on Saturday - the first time Kylie has had to interrupt a live show during her lengthy career at the top of the charts. Her early departure was then blamed on a bad bout of flu, which had hit several other members of her crew. A spokesman has denied the health scare was linked to her battle with breast cancer, which caused a career break before the comeback tour started in November. Kylie Minogue Gets Flu, Cuts Show ShortThe often-bustling Kylie Minogue had to cut her performance short on Saturday because she came down with a nasty case of the flu. As bad as that may be, it’s certainly not as bad as, oh, lets say breast cancer, which the pop star is unfortunately familiar with. As previously reported, the singer has had to postpone tour dates before due to exhaustion, but has had no further complications from the cancer she was diagnosed with back in May 2005. Her publicist John Mills informed the Associated Press of Minogue’s reluctance to bag the early curtain call: "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." Bills also noted that a decision on whether the 38-year-old Minogue will go ahead with her scheduled show in Manchester on Monday will be made on Sunday. Something tells me that the flu won’t get her down for long, because not much else has. Flu Bug Forces Kylie Minogue To Cancel ShowManchester (eCanadaNow) - According to sources, an emotional Kylie Minogue was forced to cancel a concert in Manchester, England on Saturday night half-way through the show. An under-the-weather Minogue fled the stage in tears after she was unable to continue with her concert. Kylie’s spokesperson tried to allay fears, saying “Kylie went on stage in Manchester and did half of her show and then unfortunately could not go back on just before the interval. “We are still waiting to see what is going to happen for the rest of the tour. There are four dates left in Manchester. “Kylie is suffering flu, as are other members of the tour group, including her manager. It is not linked to her breast cancer.” A statement has appeared on the MEN Arena website saying “as of 11.00am Sunday 14 January, Kylie’s remaining Manchester shows on Monday 15, Tuesday 16, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 January will be going ahead as planned.” The singer is currently on her Showgirl Homecoming tour, which started in Australia in November 2005. The tour was postponed in the same year following her diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer.

Pop princess Kylie Minogue was tonight (Sunday) forced to cancel two concerts after being diagnosed with a respiratory tract infection. The singer has been forced to cancel the shows in Manchester tomorrow night and on Tuesday but it is hoped she will have recovered enough to perform later in the week. A spokesman for the Manchester Evening News arena (MEN), where Kylie was due to perform on her Showgirl Homecoming tour, said doctors had advised the Aussie star not to sing. He said: "She is not going to perform tomorrow or on Tuesday. She has been diagnosed with a respiratory tract infection and the doctors have advised her not to perform in the near future." It is hoped the five day break would give the singer time to recover before her concerts scheduled in the city on Thursday and Friday. He said fans who have tickets for the cancelled dates might not miss out because Kylie's representatives had not ruled out they could be rescheduled. The 38-year-old had been due to perform six concerts in Manchester but was forced to pull out half way through the second show last night. Her early departure was blamed on a bad bout of flu, which was said to have also hit several other members of her crew. A spokesman has denied the health scare was linked to her battle with breast cancer, which caused a career hiatus before a comeback tour that began in Sydney, Australia, last November. Kylie's management made a statement this evening confirming the concerts tomorrow and Tuesday would not take place. It said the star had pulled out of last night's show half way through because of a "moderately severe respiratory tract infection". Doctors had told the star she should "not perform in the immediate future", which meant the next two shows would not go ahead, the statement said. But it continued: "Promoters are hoping to reschedule at the earliest opportunity. We currently anticipate that Thursday and Friday night's shows will not be affected." Kylie's management then wished her a speedy recovery and said it hoped to be able to confirm her return to the stage soon. Fans with tickets for the two cancelled gigs are advised to hang onto them until a decision is made about whether they will happen at a later date. Last night was the first time Kylie has had to interrupt a live show during her lengthy career at the top of the charts. The singer left the MEN Arena stage half way through the second of six performances of her Showgirl Homecoming show in the city. Her spokesman has ruled out any link to the star's recent battle with breast cancer, saying she caught flu after other members of the tour group became unwell. In a statement on the MEN site, it said the tour party's "worst fears" had come true when the singer herself fell ill. She told fans just before the interval that she only had a cold and didn't want to cancel the show because she had been looking forward to it for so long. But the singer was forced to stop mid-concert and apologised to fans before cancelling the rest of the show, the statement said. Fans in the audience had noticed she was suffering from a heavy cold, but one said she remained the "ultimate showgirl". Wayne Warby, of Blackburn, Lancashire, wrote on the MEN website: "What a triumphant return. Although you could tell Kylie was suffering from a sore throat, this didn't dampen the mood or the performance one bit." The star is understood to be staying at the exclusive Malmaison Hotel near Manchester's Piccadilly Station during her time in the city. Staff on reception at the hotel today denied she was a guest but other people staying there had spotted the singer. One man, who did not wish to be named, said: "I saw her here on Friday night and last night. She was with quite a few people. They looked like they could have been dancers. "She did not look too ill but I don't suppose I was looking too closely." Kylie began her career as an actress on the Australian soap Neighbours and has gone on to become one of the most famous pop performers in the world. It was revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2005 and her Showgirl tour was cut short as she retired from public life to battle against the disease. Kylie was later whisked away by car from her hotel in Manchester tonight.
