The 38-year-old singer will then perform in the UK, including six nights at Wembley Arena, in January.

Minogue postponed the Australian leg of her Showgirl world tour when she received the diagnosis 18 months ago.

"I'm thrilled to be back - I've been waiting for this day for such a long time," she told reporters at Sydney International Airport.

"We've got our work cut out for us this week. We're on tour again!" Her first show is in Sydney on Saturday.

In an new interview with Elle magazine last month, Kylie Minogue said chemotherapy was like being hit with an atomic bomb.
The 38-year-old singer revealed that after having a partial mastectomy
she underwent a six-month chemotherapy course which she describes as a
"prison sentence".
Kylie told Elle magazine: "I can't quite articulate it. It's like a prison
sentence. It's a bit like being in an atomic explosion and people asking you
to describe it, 'So exactly how big is the hole?' I don't think anyone who
hasn't had it can understand."

The chemotherapy, which finished last December, caused all her hair to fall
out and left her looking extremely frail.
Kylie says that throughout her darkest moments, one person was always by her
side - her lover Olivier Martinez.
