Kylie shows rescheduled

Adjust font size:

LONDON, England -- Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue, on the comeback trail since battling breast cancer, has rescheduled two British shows she cancelled due to ill health, her management said.

A spokesman for EMI told the UK's Press Association that Monday and Tuesday's Showgirls Homecoming concerts are cancelled but will go ahead at the Manchester Evening News Arena on January 21 and 22.

The 38-year-old star was forced to finish her show on Saturday early.

A spokesman told PA: "After being forced to pull out early from Saturday night's Showgirl Homecoming performance at the Manchester Evening News Arena due to a moderately severe respiratory tract infection, doctors have insisted that Kylie Minogue not perform in the immediate future.

"We currently anticipate that Thursday and Friday nights' shows will not be affected.

"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.

"Anyone who cannot attend the rearranged dates should return their tickets to the point of purchase no later than Friday to claim a refund."

The cancellation of the shows sparked fears the singer had returned to the stage too soon after recovering from cancer. It is still not clear whether Saturday's show will also be rescheduled.
