Artist faced breast cancer in 2005, and in a new docuseries, Kylie, reveals she battled cancer again in 2021
In a new docuseries about Kylie Minogue, the pop star revealed that after she faced a cancer scare that the media covered heavily two decades ago, she privately faced a second diagnosis in 2021 and “got through it again.”
“Thankfully, I got through it, again, and all is well,” she said in the film, according to the BBC. “Hey, who knows what’s around the corner, but pop music nurtures me… my passion for music is greater than ever.” The three-part docuseries, Kylie, is available now on Netflix.
In May 2005, Minogue announced she had been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer, forcing her to cancel tour dates. “Hopefully all will work out fine, and I’ll be back with you all again soon,” she said at the time. Later that month, news broke that she was recovering from surgery and that her doctor had deemed the operation a success. It is not known if her second bout of cancer was also breast cancer.
