Promoters of the Kylie tour have announced there will be a repeat date for those fans who attended the Manchester show last Saturday that was cut short a few songs in after Ms Minogue was taken ill. Ticket holders for that show will be able to use their tickets at a new date on 23 Jan.
A statement from the singer issued yesterday ran thus: "I'd like to apologise to those who attended last Saturday night's show at the MEN Arena. I was hoping to feel better as the day progressed, but unfortunately the opposite was true. I'm sorry for all those inconvenienced by the postponements."
Responding to rumours she took to the stage last Saturday in defiance of doctor's orders, she added: "I have not at any stage ignored the advice of my doctors. In fact, I postponed two shows this week on their advice in order to be healthy enough to finish the tour. Nearly all of my crew were hit by this terrible flu during the course of this tour and despite my best efforts I too succumbed last week. I am now overjoyed to announce that I have been declared fit to return to the stage".
