Kylie Minogue reveals she had second cancer diagnosis in 2021

Kylie Minogue has revealed she had a second cancer diagnosis in 2021, after having received successful treatment for breast cancer in 2005.

In her self-titled new Netflix documentary – released on Wednesday – the Australian singer said she "got through it, again", but added she decided not to go public with the news.

"My second cancer diagnosis was in early 2021. I was able to keep that to myself," said Minogue, 57. "Not like the first time."

"Thankfully, I got through it, again, and all is well," she continued. "Hey, who knows what's around the corner, but pop music nurtures me… my passion for music is greater than ever."

Kylie review – this refreshingly raw, real encounter with pop royalty will move you to tears

This affecting anti-hagiography traces the ascent of a bona fide superstar, featuring interviews with Nick Cave, Dannii, Jason Donovan – and the icon herself making a shocking cancer revelation

Beyond the sequins, feathers and gold hotpants, the stories of the most enduring pop megastars tend to be ones of jaw-dropping grit and undimmable power. Especially when they’re women. So it is with Kylie: pint-sized seller of over 80m records, singer of two of the greatest pop bangers of all time (Can’t Get You Out of My Head and Padam Padam, obviously), and the reticent subject of this increasingly intimate and, finally, profoundly moving three-part Netflix documentary. What starts as a bog-standard run-through of Kylie’s ascent to superstardom – an excess of Pete Waterman, Neighbours clips and virulent 1990s sexism – ends with a disclosure that moves me to tears.

Kylie Minogue reflects on four decades of fame, past loves and cruel misogyny in Netflix doc

While reflecting upon her four-decade-long career in “Kylie,” an intimate new three-part Netflix documentary, Kylie Minogue says a throwaway line that anchors the endeavor: “Life makes sense to me onstage.” Considering how she’s made 17 albums, sold 80 million records worldwide, her songs have been streamed over 5 billion times, and how she’s Australia’s bestselling female artist of all time, with shelves full of accolades like 18 ARIA Awards and two Grammys, one can easily understand her POV.

Directed by Emmy-winning editor Michael Harte (“Three Identical Strangers,” “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” “Beckham”), we’re given a glimpse into Minogue’s life through a narrative composed of home movie footage, personal photos and new interviews with her, family, former colleagues, lovers and dear friends like musician Nick Cave, who affectionately refers to her as “this force” in the “joy machine” of pop music. An immensely popular teen soap actor turned pop superstar, Minogue, 57, learned how to smile for the camera on cue despite intense — and often cruel and misogynistic — scrutiny of her every move at a very early age. As she grows and evolves, we witness the evolution of a publicly confident, sparkly superstar and a warm, private, resilient survivor of breast cancer and the fickle middle finger of showbiz who doesn’t take herself too seriously.
