Aussie singer and breast cancer survivor Kylie Minogue has been told by doctors "not to perform in the immediate future" because of a chest infection and will cancel her next two shows, according to a statement issued by her record company reports People Magazine.
Kylie Minogue walked off stage on 14.01.07 sparking new fears for
her health.
The Australian singer, who beat breast cancer last year, was forced to cut
short the latest concert on her 'Showgirl Homecoming' tour, in Manchester,
after just 45 minutes telling fans she was ill with flu.
However, her early exit has left her friends and family concerned she is
trying to do too much.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "It's awoken some of our worst
fears again. There are definite concerns she has taken on too much and can't
cope with this pace. Everyone gets flu from time to time. But during the
initial months after beating cancer, it's vital to keep well.
"When Kylie announced she wanted to tour again, there was concern among her
friends and family that it was too much, too soon."
Kylie, 38, apologized to the 20,000 fans at Manchester's MEN Arena for her
early departure. The concert was her 29th show of a grueling 33-date tour
of the UK and Australia.
A spokesman for the venue said: "Kylie has a respiratory tract infection."
Doctors have advised the diminutive pop star not to try to perform again too
soon. Kylie has canceled her shows scheduled for tonight (15.01.07) and
Tuesday (16.01.07) but hopes to be well enough to return to stage soon.
Her record label insists shows scheduled for next Thursday and Friday will proceed as planned and the canceled gigs will be rescheduled.
"Whilst we await the all clear from her doctors we wish her a speedy recovery and hope to be able to confirm her return to the stage soon," said the EMI statement.
