Kylie Minogue Reveals Secret Breast Cancer Battle for Second Time

Minogue says she kept the diagnosis private and later turned the experience into the song “Story” on her 2023 album Tension.

  • On Wednesday, pop icon Kylie Minogue revealed in her new Netflix documentary, Kylie, that she battled breast cancer for a second time in early 2021.
  • The diagnosis followed her high-profile 2005 battle, when, at 36, Minogue cancelled her Showgirl Greatest Hits tour and withdrew from Glastonbury to undergo treatment in Melbourne.
  • Minogue wrote the song Story for her 2023 album Tension to mark the 2021 experience, explaining in the documentary that she 'got through it again and all is well.'
  • Unlike her first experience, Minogue kept the 2021 diagnosis private to avoid a 'swarm of paparazzi' that left her family 'trapped in their home' during initial treatment.
  • Now 57, Minogue is sharing her journey to encourage routine screenings, noting that early detection was 'very helpful' and she is 'so grateful' to be well today.
