THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED BY ME TO KYLIE - GET WELL SOON SHOWGIRL!

Kylie Minogue, who turns 37 next week, has been diagnosed with breast
cancer.

The Australian pop star has postponed the Australian and Asian leg of
her Showgirl - The Greatest Hits tour, as well as her appearance at
Glastonbury at the end of June.

Kylie was enjoying a holiday in Melbourne with her family and her
boyfriend of two years, French actor Olivier Martinez, 39, when she
discovered she had early breast cancer.

She will undergo treatment immediately, heading to hospital as early
as tomorrow. She is expected to stay in hospital for two days and to
then return to her parents' home in Melbourne to recover.

Kylie has herself backed cancer charities strongly ever since her
father was treated for prostate cancer.

THE STATEMENTS:

Kylie: "I was so looking forward to bringing the Showgirl tour to
Australian audiences, and am sorry to have to disappoint my fans.
Nevertheless, hopefully all will work out fine and I'll be back with
you all again soon."

Sister Dannii Minogue: "The news is very upsetting. Although, as the
cancer has been diagnosed at such an early stage, we are all very
optimistic that everything will be OK. We're all very thankful for
the endless messages of love and support Kylie has been receiving - I
know all your kind thoughts will mean the world to her as she gets
better."

Pop producer Pete Waterman, whose former record company Stock Aitken
& Waterman launched Kylie's pop career in 1988: "I am so shocked to
hear this news. "My very best wishes go to her, and of course her
family, at this difficult time." Pete, who lost his eldest son Paul,
33, to a mystery illness in January, added: "My heart goes out to
her."

Ex-boyfriend and fellow Neighbours star Jason Donovan: "I was shocked
and concerned to hear of Kylie's illness. My thoughts are with her
and her family at this difficult time. I sincerely wish her well with
this treatment. Kylie's a strong woman who will fight this battle on
every front."
