Kylie Minogue, the Australian singer known for hits like Can't Get You Out of My Head and Spinning Around, revealed to the world that she battled a second cancer diagnosis in 2021, after keeping it a secret for several years. She underwent treatment and is now cancer-free.
Kylie Minogue revealed she secretly battled a second cancer diagnosis in 2021. Kylie Minogue battled cancer for a second time in secret after being diagnosed in 2021.
The I Should Be So Lucky star, 57, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 — prompting her to cancel a tour and a headline slot at Glastonbury festival — and she went on to make a full recovery after undergoing treatment, but Kylie has now revealed she suffered another health scare five years ago when she was diagnosed with cancer for a second time. Kylie finally lifted the lid on her secret cancer battle in her new self-titled Netflix documentary, saying: "My second cancer diagnosis was in early 2021.
I was able to keep that to myself … Not like the first time.
"She added: "Thankfully, I got through it. Again. And all is well. Hey, who knows what's around the corner, but pop music nurtures me … my passion for music is greater than ever.
" Kylie also added that she kept the news secret because she couldn't "find the right time" to announce it publicly after scoring a huge hit with her 2023 single Padam Padam. She explained: "I don't feel obliged to tell the world, and actually I just couldn't at the time because I was just a shell of a person.
"I didn't want to leave the house again at one point. Padam Padam opened so many doors for me but on the inside I knew that cancer wasn't just a blip in my life.
"And I really just wanted to say what happened so I can let go of it. I'd sit through interviews and every opportunity I thought, 'now's the time', but I kept it to myself.
"The track features the lyric: "I had a secret that I kept to myself … Turn another page, baby take the stage. "The singer also spoke about her cancer scare in materials released to promote the documentary, revealing her diagnosis came after a routine check-up and expressing her hope that it inspires others not to skip regular appointments.
Kylie said: "There will be someone out there who will benefit from a gentle reminder to do their check ups … Early detection was very helpful and I am so grateful to be able to say that I am well today. "
