Forget it. Someone else can do it.
-So. -So.
-Chocks away. -Chock!
-Good luck. -Tally-ho!
I'd been in the wilderness for a few years and I just thought,
"I want to be even more truthful to myself."
We were all saying the same thing.
"Let's do pop. Like, mega pop."
I'm spinning around
Move out of my way
I know you're feeling me 'Cause you like it like this
I'm breaking it down…
The irony is
"Kylie" does mean boomerang.
I do my best to come back.
…that I borrowed
From back in the day
I've done some pretty, like, Kermit kind of swallow.
Some bold, racy stuff.
But…
These are a bit bold.
…the gold hot pants took it to another level.
All 50 pence worth.
And did I forget to mention…
And I said to the director, "Is it too…"
She went, "I love them. They're staying."
I'm spinning around Move out of…
It was the first time I worked with a female director.
'Cause you like it like this…
But I had no idea
the shots were quite that close
until I did.
Now to whet your appetite, we got a lady who's got me reaching for me hot pants,
the gorgeous Kylie Minogue!
I'm spinning around
Move out of my way
We can confirm Kylie Minogue
has her fifth UK number one hit single
with "Spinning Around," and she's on the phone now.
Congratulations, Kylie. It's your biggest hit for over ten years.
I will say this.
It's good to be back.
The mistakes that I've made…
The first single is whipping up a little controversy
thanks to her skimpy little shorts.
Would you go out the house dressed like that?
Well, let's just say I…
It'd be an absolute fright if I put them on these days.
I've got nothing left to hide No reason…
Your bum has become a force of nature.
I believe there are websites devoted to it,
and there are children named after it, and it's become a huge phenomenon.
Your bum is enormous.
Do you like what you see?
Okay, good chorus, that.
You're sounding in fine voice today.
Oh, that's good.
Okay. Let's go on to another track.
I heard it as a demo.
And then I was thrown into a panic saying,
"Is it mine? Fire up the mic, we've got to do this."
La, la, la
The Official UK Top 40.
Second-highest new entry, Alien Ant Farm and "Smooth Criminal."
I just can't get you out of my head…
So we do have a new number one, and we have her on the phone now.
Hi, Kylie, you're top of the chart again.
I'm beside myself.
You make this look easy.
And then it went off the Richter.
So, of course, I arrived on a giant CD player.
Hanging on to, like, nothing.
La, la, la
So you're the creative director.
Can you tell us about your role and how does it all work?
I smoke.
I just can't get you out of my head
It's all about drawing attention to her.
…is all I think about
I don't like seeing dancers' faces.
…out of my head
If you have loads of different faces, it takes attention away from her,
which is why they all seem to be covered up and why they all hate me.
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
Obviously, you've got sex appeal.
And sex sells.
Boy, your loving is all I think about
You are very sexy. Do you like looking sexy?
Can't get you out of my head
Yeah.
Boy, it's more…
I felt liberated. I felt quite powerful.
And I was like, "Oh, okay. Yeah."
What helps make it a sexy video is that it is my personality coming through,
as opposed to what is meant to be sexy.
But this is just… Is just me.
Whether it's that addictive beat or that scandalous dress…
I love this song.
It's that chick from the '80s.
…Kylie Minogue's catchy dance song
seems to have caught on here in the States.
We were discussing Kylie Minogue,
how we was all feeling "Can't Get You Out of My Head."
I was feeling it, I was grooving to it and everything. Y'all feeling it too.
-Hello, how are you? Nice to see you. -Hi. Nice to meet you.
-Yeah, good. -Yeah.
Healthy.
I think this could be fucking great, you know.
And we'll paint by numbers
-Till something sticks -Something sticks
-I don't mind doing it for the kids -I don't mind doing it for the kids
So come on
Jump on board…
I mean, some people ask me about looking sexy with a tone in their voice,
like, "Well, is that right? Should you be doing that?"
And I say, "Well, I wouldn't like to feel that I couldn't be myself."
It is part of my character, and there was a knowing to it.
And winking.
Kids are all right
-Can I have another one of these, please? -Of course.
-Is that all right? Was that enough honey? -Mm-hmm!
-Yeah? -Delightful.
Okay, can we do one more?
-Yup. -Just because we can.
Your disco, your disco
For the first time, I wasn't trying to be someone else.
Your disco, your disco
Your disco needs you
I would like to know, gay people always have been in love with you.
-Yeah. -What's the reason?
There was a time in the beginning of my career
when I was having this tirade of nastiness just for being myself.
And I think my gay audience may have related to that.
So let's dance through all of this
I feel like I could go to war with my gay audience.
…for a bit
And they were there way back when it was the most uncool thing.
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you
for your support throughout the years.
I just want you to know that I'm here for you.
And the Grammy goes to…
-Kylie Minogue. -Kylie Minogue.
Kylie Minogue!
It felt great to be amongst people who are just celebrating you
for being yourself.
So, a few years ago, it seems that pop was a dirty word.
No longer!
So let's dance through all our fears
War is over for a bit
What I've come to realize, I hope you're recording, is…
Do your part
…I might not be blessed with a voice from the heavens.
Your disco, your disco
Your disco needs you
Your disco…
I don't have anyone else's voice.
…needs you
Your disco, your disco
What I have is my voice.
Your disco, your disco
Your disco needs
First half was good, wasn't it? Then you came in with a funny note.
Yeah. Yeah.
Just stay on that, don't go up higher. It's a bit dodgy.
Oh, okay.
-Oh, I'll try it. -Good luck.
Sorry.
Your disco needs you
Your disco, your disco
Your disco needs
You
That's great. Well done.
Yay!
-That's the note. -Come on! Come on!
Can I come in?
-No, one more take. -Oh!
-Then you're done. -Lazy boot. God.
Pop stars of today!
My final guest is a mega star of pop.
Now we're rolling. Ça tourne, attention.
Welcome, please, Kylie Minogue.
The last time you came on, I talked to you about your relationships.
And you've got a new fella now.
-You've got a Frenchman. -Mm-hmm.
Are Frenchmen better than English guys, or…?
How could I possibly say that?
The next guest tonight is a French actor.
Please welcome Olivier Martinez.
I can't ride a motorbike,
but I love being on the back of a motorbike. I love it.
Especially if you're on the back of the bike of the man you love.
But is he the one, though? Is Olivier the one?
Uh, he could be. I don't know.
This has got nothing to do with me. I feel that I'm in the world.
I can see stuff and no one can see you. It's just, it's like freedom. In Paris.
And what about children? I mean, you're 35 now.
You're leaving it a bit late, aren't you, 35?
I'm aware of this, Michael.
-Very good. -Well, it's not too late.
But obviously, a woman of my age can't help but think about those things.
There.
Plus…
At long last. So, how are you getting on?
…I'm headlining Glastonbury, which was a huge-- A huge deal…
It's a really good idea.
…because I was a pop artist.
Okay, bye.
People like me didn't headline Glastonbury.
You let us know when you're coming.
When I've watched other people perform there…
Good evening, Glastonbury.
…trying to take in the breadth of that audience…
…is kind of impossible.
So, it was huge. And I was ready for it.
The event is expected to be sold out in just seven hours.
So, life was…
It was good.
But I am a fatalist.
Somewhere out there, they're looking down saying,
"This is the bit where she thinks she's got it together,
and it's all going to go pear-shaped."
Okay, and playback!
Rolling.
I don't believe that when you die Your presence isn't felt
But I
Believe in you
And cut.
But I was really tired.
I remember…
I don't know, like, just putting my head down a bit more often.
A few more photos of me just out.
One more straightaway?
Do it once more. Once more.
And there was not a lot of me anyway.
I was pretty tiny, but I was like a little bit tinier.
How are you feeling?
I can't actually speak just yet. Sorry.
-That's all right. -I'm having a…
Playback!
I kept saying, "Maybe I'm too old for this."
But I was ill, and I didn't know I was ill.
It's cancer we're talking about. I don't even think I said the word.
Yeah.
But at the time, I was on a world tour.
And I was due on stage in two or three days.
So, I had to have a pretty good reason not to turn up.
Two.
But then I had a check in London,
to check a lump
and was told,
"It's fine."
And, let's just put it this way, by the time I got to Australia,
it wasn't fine.
I went for a screening.
And a few biopsies later,
they told me the news.
I just kind of fell into a chair
and then left in a total daze.
What's happened?
What does that mean?
It's like the Earth's on a different axis or, like, "Where's reality gone?"
Nothing felt real,
and yet it couldn't be more real.
Did you and Kylie argue when you were younger?
Of course.
Sisters.
I was in London.
My parents phoned me.
They said, "Look, we didn't want to do this on the phone,
but we need to let you know, um,
Kylie's not well."
"And you've got pretty much 24 hours to get back to Australia
before the news is going to hit."
But it's a 26-hour flight away.
There's the one thing that's me and my family,
but the second thing is this news.
What do we say, and what do we do?
Because if we said it, that was it.
We've got the headlines.
It would be all over the news.
-"The government sets out its agenda." -Yeah. That's right.
And I really needed stillness to try and compute what's happening.
But my entire crew were making the stage and waiting for me.
So,
obviously, the tour was canceled.
At six o'clock, the pop singer Kylie Minogue
has been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer.
The 36-year-old star has postponed her world tour.
The singer Kylie Minogue has breast cancer.
…with breast cancer.
Dannii flew out of London today to be with her sister.
Somebody said, "There's a film crew here
trying to get an interview with you."
And I said, "I haven't spoken to my sister yet."
And my head was just… I'm jet-lagged.
And then I'm thinking, "Oh, shit."
"If this is what's happening here…"
The Minogue family have been reunited at the family home
for one of the most difficult days they've faced.
Intrusion
at a level
that none of us had experienced.
We're just wondering if there's any comment on reports
that Kylie's back in Melbourne.
In normal times, news of her disease
would have been released several weeks later.
But because there were concerts due to start here,
they've had to release the details of her illness right away.
How's Kylie doing this morning?
Everybody is very hungry for news.
So, we very much are at the ground floor of this disease,
almost as part of the family.
We're going, "Oh my God, the poor neighbors."
Do you know Kylie? Do you know how she's feeling?
Yeah, I'm sure she'll be fine.
The worst point was,
Dad needed to go for a walk around the block with the dog.
The dog needed to go for a walk around the block.
He couldn't get out of the gate.
Nothing was healthy in any way.
And it really,
really made me angry.
And there are reports that she will be going into hospital today.
Do we know where she's going to be treated?
It's understood the operation to remove the lump
will take place at Cabrini Hospital,
where security has been increased.
Medical staff had been offered a serious amount of money to take photos.
And I was feeling in the depths of…
absolute uncertainty.
And that was just the beginning.
Kylie Minogue returned home late this afternoon,
huddled on the back seat.
And I was so scared of what was ahead of me.
But, thankfully, I had my family.
It's so hypnotizing, isn't it?
Whoa, that's cool.
They were like, "What did they say?" "Nothing. They were just staring at me."
No matter what happens,
I know my brother, sister, and my mum and dad will always be there for me.
Flew 26 hours…
We're there for each other.
…paparazzi at the other end.
And that's how our family rolls.
So, how have you found the last few days of
reflecting with people staring at you?
How's that been?
-Interesting. -Yep.
Yeah. Um…
We have never done anything like this before.
So, it's not as scary as I thought it might be, actually.
I think it's because we're in the dark.
Oh my God.
Oh, yes.
You've had such tenacity, really.
-Yeah. -I wonder where she got that from.
You set the tone.
My mum's always been there with me.
But she is the opposite of Dan and I.
Does not want to be on camera.
I wish we could show a shot of Carol because there she is. Can we see her, Ray?
There she is.
-Hiding. -Hiding.
Good on you, Carol.
She was on the road with me for all my early years.
And my mum's just running away from the camera
because she doesn't want to be seen. She's always…
Hand-washing all the dancers' clothes. Hot-gluing diamantés onto costumes.
No, so this is my mother.
Mum's pretty much seen it all.
Yeah, we did drag you to Mardi Gras. That was hilarious.
Oh my God, when you met U2 for the second time.
And you'd forgotten you'd met them, and The Edge came running over going,
"Carol! Carol!" And she's going, "Who is that?"
And I'm going, "It's The Edge from U2. You've met him before."
You know, she's definitely rock and roll enough.
Oh, I haven't met you.
She's a bit shy.
You are a Minogue. You are.
This is where all the beauty comes from.
But if she didn't like something, she'd have given a look.
-How are you? -I'm fine.
People I loved, they think, "Oh no, I had it once. I don't want it."
And they're still traumatized.
You climbed out the window to go bowling, and then Mum turned up.
Finished my bowl and turned around, and I will…
Arms folded?
…never, ever, ever forget.
-Does she have the look? -Like this.
-I was backlit. -Like Steven Spielberg.
I walked up those stairs.
There were sparks and fire coming from you.
But whenever the going got tough…
she was there.
When you try your best But you don't succeed
So, everybody's kind of paid to see Kylie Minogue.
We thought, well, shouldn't we salute absent friends?
When the tears come streaming Down your face
I watched Glastonbury…
Or you lose something You can't replace
…from my bedroom.
With a lot of emotion.
Coldplay dedicated "Fix You" to me.
So, there I was just weeping.
And I will try
To fix you
And I was a prisoner in the house.
The thing is, wherever she's going to be treated,
she would have to stay there for several months.
I remember saying to my parents,
"I can't stay here."
"I want to do my chemotherapy in Paris."
But my dad really didn't want me to go.
Like, I can only imagine, as a parent, your instinct to…
want to protect your child.
Especially in that moment.
But I said, "I've just-- I've got to go."
And that was really hard.
I will try
To fix you
But my mum came with me.
So, there's someone keeping an eye on me.
And that was such a blessing…
because I needed her now more than ever.
So, here we can see the cancer, which you can't see on the normal image.
Here we can see the spread to the lymph nodes.
And these…
I was in and out of hospital.
We can do a local or wide excision.
Chemotherapy.
Simple or radical.
Radiotherapy.
And facing a long journey.
And I'd been so self-conscious about losing my hair.
And so, first, I cut it.
And it's just like you hear about.
Clumps. There's no other way to say it. Clumps come out.
So, I buzz-cut the whole thing.
How did I feel?
That was the least of my worries at that point in time.
I remember the pain.
Just to get down the street was a real achievement.
I felt removed from my body.
Removed from the world.
And yeah, the mind goes to really dark places.
The chemotherapy was so hard.
Physically.
Mentally.
And…
You've met my sister. She's tiny.
I remembered Mum calling me. She's like, "We're in ICU again."
"She can't feel her fingers. I'm not allowed to go in the room."
We didn't know if she's ever going to be well again.
It was that bad. Like, "Is she going to live through this?"
Hi there, I'm…
Ah! Take two.
You're mentioning your single, so say, "Hi, I'm Dannii Minogue, this is…"
At the time…
Yep, okay.
…I was working in London.
Hi there, I'm Dannii Minogue, and this is my new single.
Cool?
So, I could just pop over and get to see her.
And it would give Mum the break she needed for her sanity.
I remember saying,
"If I could chop off one of my arms now, and this would all go away, I would."
I would.
-How'd it go? -How you doing?
-You all right? -Yeah.
I just felt so helpless.
Where are you up to today?
There was nothing I could do for her.
Done one full run-through.
We won't do a full one now, but we'll do a little bit.
-So, you get a vibe! -Which song do I get to hear?
So, "Lights Camera Action," "In Your Eyes," "Get Outta My Way,"
"What Do I Have to Do."
But then I thought about…
Hello! Nice.
…what had always kept us together.
Okay, I'll play music. That's what I'll do.
That went back to what we knew.
Back to
the beginning.
That feeling of being around the record player again.
That feeling of family.
In the darkest place
Hey
So we're going with our heart Yeah, it's all the rage
Dannii would put the music on, and get me moving a little bit.
Oh, we're just
And Mum was with us.
In the storms we chase
So, it was like the girls.
In the process of getting her better…
Baby, in and out of summer
…music kept us going.
Oh, yeah
I, I think about you
And one evening,
during chemotherapy treatment, there was one little window.
And through that little window, the Eiffel Tower started sparkling.
And I was like, "She's sparkling for me."
I thought, "I'm not finished."
"This is not where I want to say goodbye."
Say something, say something Tell me how you're feeling
And the day that I might have one eyelash, would be like, "Wow."
Or the day I would put a little bit of makeup on,
it was, like, a big-- A big deal.
'Cause love…
But it was so thrilling.
I'm like, "Yeah, let's put diamonds on."
It never ends, it never ends
For love
Can we…
Can we be all, can we…
It's the first time we've seen Kylie headscarf-free.
It never ends
Say something
And when I got out of the danger zone,
there was still a long way to go.
-Hey, Kylie. -Hi, Kylie.
But I just wanted to be with my sister.
You look great.
London's Sun newspaper broke the news
Kylie fans the world over have been waiting for.
After months of chemotherapy,
the pop princess has been declared cancer-free.
…we all be as one again
'Cause love is love, it never ends
Can we all be as one again?
'Cause love is love, it never ends
Can we all be as one again?
'Cause love is love, it never ends
-Can we all be… -Say, say
…as one again?
This is love
It never ends
Can we all be as one again?
Oh, say something
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Experts call it the "Kylie effect."
A thousand more women a day are booking screenings.
Now in this exclusive interview,
she talks for the first time about coping with cancer.
You look incredible.
Thanks.
No, seriously, like glowy and healthy and sparkly eyes and smiley.
It's, um…
Well, I'm happy to be here.
I see things differently.
I don't have strength. I don't have stamina.
I don't have everything that I took for granted before.
And I'm still going through it.
It's not like, "Hey, it's all over, and I'm--"
-It doesn't stop like that. -No, it doesn't.
I still have treatments.
I didn't write much about my experience. Maybe in my life now, I would.
But I certainly didn't feel like this is the time to do an entire album about
what I've been through.
It was a bit too close. Let's see.
Was it a conscious decision by you that marriage and babies come later?
Mm, no. No, I've just…
I've just rolled along.
Oh, here we go. Here we go. Ugh.
-Huh. -What is this?
Um, I didn't even think we'd get to there.
There's-- There's so much more to cancer than just,
"You had it, you got through it, and you're fine."
Or, "You're fine for now."
Um…
I was 36 when I got my diagnosis,
so already, it's-- You-- You need to be thinking about
children.
So, I did try.
I even postponed my chemotherapy to try.
Um, which was quite scary at the time
because I just wanted--
You just want it-- You want it out, gone.
I want to feel
safe.
I don't want this.
Um…
But yeah, I did try a few times with IVF.
Always with such a thread of hope.
But I couldn't not try.
She's just amazing with kids.
She's always been good with kids.
Just naturally…
One.
…incredible.
Two. Two.
One. Two. Good.
I know I'll have children.
I know that much. I wouldn't have just one.
-I'd definitely have more. -Right. Okay.
She's amazing with her nephews.
I never saw myself being a parent,
and she always did.
And that is…
It's heartbreaking.
I did try IVF, like, a number of times.
If it had happened,
it would have been just shy of a miracle.
But it didn't work out that way.
So,
this was, like, a letter to
what might've been.
"Distant child, my flower, are you blowing in the breeze?"
"Can you feel me as I breathe life into you?"
"Wrapped in a blanket of hope, asleep in a bed of dreams."
"My step into eternity is not what it might've been."
"Or not at all, for who knows which way the wind is going to blow."
"Or not at all, for who knows which way the wind is going to blow?"
Or not at all, for who knows Which way the wind is gonna blow?
I'm waiting for your gentle whisper
Distant child, my flower Are you blowing in the breeze?
Can you feel me As I breathe life into you?
Kids. Would you like some at some stage?
Yeah, I would love them.
We have to see about that.
Yes.
One can't help but wonder
what it would've been like, and…
I'm so close to my family.
It just… It-it-it wasn't--
It wasn't my path.
So, that's what I was writing about, like…
Even if you didn't come to be,
you're somewhere.
We all become something.
Even if it's ash, and we become something else.
So, I was kind of hopeful and realistic at the same time.
That is the end of my box.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
-Should we light a bonfire? -No!
-Straight up those little stairs. -Yeah.
Having had cancer, I said to my manager, "Call so-and-so and so-and-so."
"I understand if they don't want to work with me anymore."
I just thought that that might be it.
Hi.
Hi, everyone.
Oh! I knew it. I knew I'd come over all emotional.
Oh!
It's my first day back at school.
Hi. I'll say hello individually.
People had tickets to her music show.
So, we'd offered they could, you know, hand their tickets back in,
and they would reimburse them, and…
nobody did.
Come up.
And mist, two, three, four, five. And then you go back to this.
I heard that people held onto their tickets.
"We're here, when you're ready to come back, we're here."
But I wasn't as strong. I wasn't as fit.
They would have been concerned.
"Are you ready? Can you handle it?"
So, I had a mountain to climb,
but I didn't fancy hanging around at the bottom of the mountain.
I was like, "When can we fire up this tour again?"
No, no, you do this one.
She was like, "I just need to finish the tour."
Like, she's so professional.
One, two, three.
I'm like, "Oh, for God's sake, we need to keep you alive."
This one's slower than when you did the last one.
But she was determined, right? Let's not think the worst.
-See what I mean? -Yes.
Step, and then from here you're walking while bringing your hand out.
-You still okay to work? -Yeah.
Yeah, I just wanted to feel able again.
That's what I wanted to feel, able.
One, two, three, four.
One, two…
You could look at it that it's just a show.
Follow.
Nice.
But it's not just a show to me.
To here.
It's my other home.
Good news for Kylie Minogue fans.
Her concert's back on in what she's now calling her Homecoming Tour.
The tour will go ahead. Obviously, she's got a few mountains to climb.
Okay? All right.
Just, uh-- Let's take a break.
But it wasn't easy.
I felt so drained.
Just take it gently.
I felt like my body was a battleground.
Go quicker.
It was such an effort to get up to show speed again.
Just give me a shout if it's painful.
I believe, I believe, I believe
No, there's…
I had to find the strength in my voice again.
Draw a little bit toward the A. Just a touch.
-Okay. -Okay?
I didn't actually know if I could do it.
Oh, here we are.
But then I started to get letters.
Aw!
"Kylie, I've never written to a celebrity before."
"But after years of dancing around my bedroom,
singing into my hairbrush, pretending to be you,
I couldn't not write and tell you I'm thinking of you."
"I felt very sad when I heard you were not very well."
"I would love to see you again in concert."
"My mum is trying to get some tickets for your show."
"If you ever get scared, just know that in every single second
of every single day, one of your fans is thinking of you."
It's just beautiful to know that other people loved her like we did.
"Dear Kylie, yoggle lud well soon."
Oh, it says, I think, "Get well soon."
These letters in really dark moments, they meant so much to me.
Okay, they've left the "u" out.
But it still made it to me.
That support
really kept her going.
"Thinking of you, cheering you on."
"Sorry about the envelope. I couldn't afford a card. Kiss, kiss."
Kylie Minogue arrived at Sydney Airport
as she prepares for her first performance.
Kylie!
One, two, three, go!
Come on!
She's back. Kylie Minogue is back in town. We knew she was coming, Sydney.
Tickets are sold out. No one else can get tickets.
Every single person I know is going to this show.
Love you, darling!
What's happening in two hours?
Tickets.
There you go. Have a good night.
Twenty minutes.
-Twenty minutes? -Mm-hmm.
Kylie!
Kylie! Kylie!
Kylie!
Oh.
This is a song which was written after coming through cancer.
"Wave of love coming over me."
"Got the sound of you ringing in my ears."
"Sun coming up on another day. Got a secondhand chance."
Oh my God!
I'm trying to hide.
"Got a secondhand chance, gonna do it again."
"Got rainbow colors and no more rain."
So, I was trying to flash-forward to being…
I just keep trying to get back on stage. Life makes sense to me on stage.
"Glitter drop, fall," that's the stage to me.
"Got a glitter drop, fall, and I'm on my knees."
I wanted to fall to my knees on the stage.
"Got the sound of you ringing in my ears."
"Sun coming up on another day."
"Got a secondhand chance. Gonna do it again."
"Got rainbow colors and no more rain."
"And love carries the hurt that you hold. Funny how life can unfold."
"Oh, yeah. It feels like a wave of love."
But I didn't come through all of that and think,
"Pop music. Who cares?"
In the scheme of things, it's not that important.
But in that moment, it actually means everything.
Better the devil you know
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Say you won't leave me no more
I'll take you back again
No more excuses no, no
'Cause I heard them all before
A hundred times or more
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cause it's true what they say
It's better the devil you know
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was saved.
I really was.
Yeah. Get her to quick change.
Of course, you learn what resilience means and what love means.
Ah!
Unbelievable!
Whoo!
It's just fantastic.
-Ooh! -Ah!
Just unbelievable. Can't wait for the second half.
Dad is dancing!
Oh no, is he doing the dad dance?
But having had cancer,
one important thing to know is you're still the same person.
And I remember coming out the other end,
feeling more like myself than ever before.
My heart is close to breaking And I can't go on faking
The fantasy that you'll be mine I'm dreaming
That you're in love with me Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming is all I do If only they'd come true
And…
I had unfinished business.
Let's put it that way.
Okay, Kylie has some big news. What is it?
She's announced she's going to be performing at Glastonbury.
Read my lips
-We'll just do that. -Yeah.
But my nerves were off the charts.
Get me into the shade
I couldn't even say the word Glastonbury. It was like, "That's the short show."
Short show completely depends on the audience.
Disappointment for many Glastonbury fans.
Tickets sold out in 40 minutes this morning.
The event will host around 200,000 visitors.
This is live to TV. This is happening.
Kylie says she is thrilled to be playing.
So, this will be amazeballs.
From the way you walk From the rhythm when you're dancing
Straight into "Lucky"? No troubs.
-No troubs. -Okay, troubs.
I was terrified
that it would be like Spinal Tap.
It's kind of my job to be anxious. Or is it to pretend I'm not anxious?
I can never remember.
The more I try, I try to stop The more I can feel…
There's huge props on this stage.
Uh… uh…
Oh!
From the way you walk From the rhythm when you're dancing
In the days beforehand,
I remember practically redecorating my house.
You're such a rush
Like, "I'm just going to do something. Just going to, you know, do the…"
I do get kind of busy with decoration.
-I've never looked more chic in my life. -Hi there.
Hi.
I just need to busy myself.
Like, "Yep, get the garlands. We'll string the garlands up."
"What is she doing?" "Just leave her be."
Tomorrow, the Pyramid Stage opens
at one of the greatest festivals in the world.
And for many people who play here,
especially if it's their first gig…
Wow, wow, wow, wow
…this really is the calm before the storm.
Right.
Radio 1 Newsbeat.
And the top story this lunchtime.
Kylie will be getting her wellies and waterproofs ready just in case.
It's the first time she's ever played Glastonbury.
Here's a look at the lineup.
She'll be joined at the festival
by artists such as The Killers,
Hozier, Vampire Weekend.
In 2005, yeah,
people like me didn't really get to play Glastonbury.
Some legends as well,
such as Interpol, Wu-Tang Clan, and The Cure.
And so, I didn't know if anyone would show up for me.
So, we are almost at the time.
I can feel the excitement.
Kylie Minogue got on the Pyramid Stage.
I was so nervous.
You can't even imagine.
But someone said before David Bowie played Glastonbury,
he couldn't talk to anyone.
I felt a lot better.
Even if you're David Bowie,
you're still nervous.
But it was full.
Hello, Glastonbury!
Thank you so much.
Kylie! Kylie!
Kylie! Kylie! Kylie!
Kylie! Kylie!
Oh, my goodness!
Kylie! Kylie! Kylie!
It was such a wave of love.
Isn't that an incredible sight?
Do you see yourself?
I had so much goodness from so many people…
Can you see yourself?
…who were there and beyond…
who had willed me
to reach that stage.
Dance
It's all I wanna do So won't you dance?
It really was a point where I felt like…
I think I might have…
I think I might have done it.
All the lovers
That have gone before
They don't compare
To you
It would have been rude to not allow that to come in
because it was a marker that I wasn't able to give myself.
Feel
Can't you see There's so much here to feel?
Deep inside your heart You know I'm real
Can't you see that this is going Higher, higher, higher, higher
Breathe
I think it was the most watched Glastonbury performance of all time.
It was beautiful to see how much love was directed at her.
You know, what the world loves essentially about Kylie
is that she really went through something.
That's the sort of definition of joy in a way,
which is that capacity to be able to rise out of a certain suffering.
I love you!
And to see the world in a positive way.
And her connection with the audience…
All the lovers
…it's not phony.
That have gone before
It's very real for her.
They don't compare
It is a true form of love.
To you, to you, to you
So don't be frightened
And that, on some level, is enough.
Just give me a little bit more
They don't compare
Little Kylie got there.
All the lovers
The one and only, Mr. Nick Cave!
Wow!
Were her fans nicer to you this time?
I think they just looked at me with a kind of pity.
"Oh, he's back again."
Great. Great chat, let's go.
Shall we talk about the future?
I'm probably spending more time here,
in this lovely, peaceful environment,
and, you know, discovering whatever that thing called balance is.
You've been in the industry long.
Long time. We've seen you grow up.
How do you think you can last?
There's a lot of borderline insulting questions
about my age these days,
and being a woman in the industry, when do you stop?
How long can you go on?
I can't envisage an old, gray Kylie Minogue
doing all that kind of stuff.
No, I don't know.
I don't think anyone knows how long it will go for,
and I don't know how long I'll want it to go for.
There may come a day where I'll think, "Okay, I'd really like to stop."
So there's definitely times where I think,
"What would happen if I got off the merry-go-round?"
"Just did nothing?"
Okay.
But I am my own worst enemy.
It's like, "Go away, everyone."
"Where is everyone?"
Maximum three days between those two phrases.
Sometimes just a few hours.
You look like fun…
Breaking news, Kylie put out the single from her 16th album.
No sign she's slowing down.
…can tell you how this ends
Next thing, we're going on tour!
Kylie is back with a song
that people are saying is her raciest single yet.
And it's an absolute banger. The year's biggest dance hit.
What?! Oh my God!
Kylie! Oh my God!
'Cause I can hear your heart beatin'
It felt like I was just getting started.
It's the song of the summer, and it's gone viral.
Padam, and get to know me close
Padam, padam, when your heart goes
Padam, padam
The Grammy goes to "Padam Padam," Kylie Minogue.
When your heart goes, padam
Welcome. Welcome.
-Wow. -Hello, my lovely.
-You all right? -Hi. Hi. Oh, gosh. Hi.
Come here.
-Hey, hey, hey! -You all right?
So, we've been running through songs,
running through vocals, and we're getting there.
Maybe start with the least done.
No, not when it's Christmas with you
Ooh
I feel you getting close
Baby, baby, baby
Hold me a little bit longer Love me a little bit harder
Give me the heat of the…
I've got to get involved!
…to remember
You're changing me like the weather
Oh, you make it hot in December
Can I ask…
What's Kylie like to work with?
Oh.
-Nightmare. -I was going to say. Honestly, mate.
Oh
Well, it's 25 years we've been writing songs together.
XM-A-S
Everyone says about the joy of you, it's more.
Let me hear you going X-M-A…
Right, what have we got next?
We've written songs probably no one will ever know what they're about
apart from you and me.
And to hear them live is really difficult. Beautiful, but difficult.
This time of year…
This time…
Sorry. Test run. Test run.
-Here it goes. -Everyone, settle.
-Avoid eye contact. -Not my phone.
This time of year
Shit.
This time--
-Okay, we've got this. -It's strong. We got this.
There's a song that we wrote. A song called "Story."
And "Story" was written because
I…
Mm-hmm!
My second cancer diagnosis was in early 2021.
I don't want to-- I just…
So…
I was able to keep that to myself and go through that year.
And not like the first time.
I don't even think-- Do you know? I don't think-- You don't know this.
Um…
Ooh!
Take your time.
Wow.
I've been trying to find the right…
the right time to-to say it.
I don't feel obliged to tell the world.
And actually, I just couldn't at the time because I was,
I was just a shell of a person.
I didn't want to leave the house again at one point.
And playback.
"Padam Padam" opened so many doors for me,
but on the inside, I knew that cancer wasn't just a blip in my life.
Let's roll the cameras.
And I really just wanted to say…
what happened.
Kylie, good morning. Welcome…
So I can let go of it.
-Hi, how are you? -Well, we're great.
And I've got to say congratulations on the album…
I would sit through interviews.
The reviews have been…
And every opportunity, I thought, "Now's the time."
How are you feeling right now?
But I kept it to myself.
So, I needed to have something that marked that time.
Do you know the chords?
Yeah.
Do I know the lyrics?
I've just cried my eyes out. How can I sing?
You could be the one
You-- The one
Okay, let's try it.
And what we ended up with
was something that said what I wanted to say.
I had a secret That I kept to myself, yeah
I had a one-way ticket That was going nowhere
You could be the one You could be my sun
Thankfully, I got through it.
Again.
Take away the light
And all is well.
Hey, who knows what's around the corner?
But pop music nurtures me.
Pop can elate you.
If you're feeling depressed, it can soothe you.
It can be a… a type of salvation for some people.
Everything'll be all right
You said
Turn another page
My passion for music is greater than ever.
There's the song that hasn't been written. There's that person to reach.
So, my story continues.
And you are part of my story.
I didn't walk on the wild side Or fall in the night sky
I didn't let the world know, I, I
I was fighting a big fight Fighting a dark light
-Raging hard on the inside -Hard on the inside
Hard on the inside
You said…
Turn another page Baby, take the stage
You know the stars Are coming out for you
Ebb and then they flow Baby, feel the glow
You know, you know You know the answer
Turn another page Baby, take the stage
You know the stars Are coming out for you
Ebb and then they flow Baby, feel the glow
You know, you know, you know
You're part of my story
If a light were to shine Every tear that I cry
A million stars Would be shining tonight
If a bell were to ring Every "if," every "why"
A symphony sound Would be higher than high
I've been alone Been alone in the rain
Wondering how anything's gonna change
But when you tell me You see the world in my eyes
Then I come alive
Light up
Hey
And the stars will shine for you
I light up
Hey
And your magic fills the room
I light up
Coming from the brink Now they wanna sing
For you
I light up
Coming from the brink Now they wanna sing
For you
There's a light up in the sky There's a light up in the night
There's a light up Every time you look into my eyes
I feel your love everywhere
I feel your love always there
I feel your love, yeah, yeah
I light up
