Kylie Minogue has shared a health update with fans after finishing the UK leg of tour. The Australian singer has been forced to postpone a run of her upcoming European show dates.
The 57-year-old who celebrated her birthday last week took to Instagram to share the news about her health battle. She explained: “Hi lovers, As some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of the Tension Tour. I made it over the finish line but unfortunately have succumbed to a viral infection (Hello laryngitis).
“I’ve tried my best to recover fast to start our next run of shows on Monday but I am afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform my best for you.”
The Padam Padam singer apologised to fans saying: “I’m so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled.”
Kylie has urged people to keep hold of their tickets as she hopes to be able to reschedule the dates and has told fans she will share an update soon. Finishing her message, she told fans: “I’ll miss you next week. And I can’t wait to see you.”
According to the NHS, laryngitis is when your voice box or vocal cords in the throat become irritated or swollen. It usually clears itself within 1 to 2 weeks.
Laryngitis usually comes on suddenly and gets worse during the first three days. Symptoms include a hoarse voice, sometimes losing your voice, an irritating cough, needing to clear your throat and a sore throat.
The popstar performed over a dozen shows in the UK, with the last date being in Glasgow on June 6. As well as touring, Kylie has been busy launching two new fragrances, Lovers Noir and Lovers Fleur.
The Grammy-awarding artist returned to the M&S Bank Arena on Thursday, May 23, six years on from her last show at the venue in 2019. The Tension Tour kicked off in Australia and has made its way through Asia and eventually to the UK.
Thousands gathered at the venue in Liverpool to dance the night away, with many decked out in sequins and Kylie Minogue t-shirts in celebration of the event.
An unbelievable night of music, sequins and confetti, Kylie opened the incredible show with Lights Camera Action, followed by hits In Your Eyes and Get Outta My Way. Kylie closed the Liverpool show with 2023 hit Padam Padam and anthem Love At First Sight
