Kylie Minogue forced to postpone tour dates after ‘viral infection’
Kylie Minogue has postponed her upcoming tour dates after falling ill.
Kylie Minogue has been forced to postpone a string of her tour dates after ‘succumbing to an infection’.
The Padam Padam singer, 57, has been on the road as part of her Tension tour, and recently completed her run of UK dates – including concerts at the O2 in London, and dates in Glasgow, Newcastle and Sheffield.
However, taking to Instagram, she revealed that she came down with laryngitis while travelling, meaning her upcoming gigs in Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia will be pushed back.
‘Hi Lovers, as some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of The Tension Tour,’ she began. ‘I made it over the finish line (Yay) 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’m afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform my best for you.
‘I’m so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled.’
Kylie shared an update on her Instagram page
The Spinning Around star has been performing like a pro during her UK run of dates.
‘Please keep hold of your tickets, we’re doing our very best to reschedule the dates and will update you very soon on that,’ she added.
‘Thank you for understanding – you know I love you all. And I LOVE THIS SHOW! And I’ll miss you next week. And, I can’t wait to see you. Love Kylie xxx.’
Kylie was due to perform at the Uber Arena in Berlin on Monday night, before rounding out the week with stops in Lodz, Lithuania and Estonia.
It is not clear when these dates will be rescheduled to.
She will next be hitting the stage in Finland on June 23, and continuing her performances in Sweden, France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland.
In August, the Spinning Around singer will be taking the Tension tour to Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Colombia – ending the run with three dates across Mexico.
Kylie, who shot to fame after starring in Australian soap Neighbours, recently delighted fans when she returned to her acting roots, with a brief stint in the Residence on Netflix.
After it was confirmed that Neighbours was officially coming to an end – for a second time – many questioned whether she would reprise her role as Charlene Mitchell in the show’s second finale, which is being filmed next month, before airing in December.

Show producer Jason Herbison addressed the speculation in a chat with Back to the Bay, while touching on the original ending in 2022.
‘I haven’t picked up the phone to Jason [Donovan] and Kylie and Guy [Pierce] again. I’ve left them alone, but it will be very similar in tone,’ he declared.
‘I think it’s a very warm, hopeful tone, but it’s also a little bit different. There are things about it that I think might remind people of the previous finale, but it’s also very different.
‘I think, as has been well documented, the show’s not ending because people aren’t still enjoying it. We still have an amazing following.
‘We had a lot of notice and we could see that this was probably going to happen. So, very hopeful.’
