Kylie Minogue Reveals She Had Second Cancer Diagnosis in 2021
Minogue says early detection helped her recover and that she delayed going public while balancing a renewed music career.
- On Tuesday, Kylie Minogue revealed in her new self-titled Netflix documentary that she privately battled cancer for a second time beginning in 2021, more than 15 years after her initial diagnosis.
- Minogue previously battled breast cancer at age 36 in 2005, forcing her to cancel her Showgirl tour and withdraw from a headline performance at Glastonbury festival that year.
- Despite the success of her 2023 Grammy-winning hit 'Padam Padam,' the singer struggled to find the 'right time' to share her diagnosis, later writing the song 'Story' to express her private sorrow.
- The announcement led to 'the Kylie effect,' a 101 per cent increase in women booking breast screenings, while Minogue emphasized that early detection was 'very helpful' in her own recovery.
- Releasing a new single to coincide with the documentary, Kylie continues to pursue music as a 'happy place' while maintaining focus on future creative projects.
