SHE may be having cancer treatment on the other side of the world, but Kylie Minogue has once again shown her thoughts are never very far from home.
Still upset at being forced to postpone the Australian leg of her tour after being diagnosed with breast cancer in May, the singer has requested her Showgirl tour be televised here.
"Kylie felt strongly that she wanted her fans to see at least part of the show," Frontier Touring managing director Michael Gudinski said.
"Even though the tour has been postponed and is yet to be rescheduled, she really felt that the fans deserved to see the full extent of it all.
"She was pretty insistent that it go on TV and I think for her to feel that strongly just shows what she's like and that she really has a very strong loyalty to fans."
Minogue personally selected what songs would be included in the one-hour highlighted version of the concert, which will screen on Channel Ten on Sunday night.
"Kylie is very involved with everything," Gudinski confirmed yesterday.
MINOGUE ORGANISES TV SPECIAL FOR AUSTRALIAN FANS
KYLIE
Cancer patient KYLIE MINOGUE has asked for a TV special highlighting her Showgirl tour to be screened in her native Australia, after she was forced to scrap dates in the country earlier this year (05).
The SPINNING AROUND singer shocked the world in May (05) when she cancelled the remaining dates of her world tour to undergo chemotherapy.
Despite her ongoing battle with breast cancer, kind-hearted Minogue has now selected songs for an hour-long condensed concert special to show her disappointed fans.
Frontier Touring boss MICHAEL GUDINSKI says, "Kylie felt strongly that she wanted her fans to see at least part of the show.
"Even though the tour has been postponed and is yet to be rescheduled, she really felt that the fans deserved to see the full extent of it all.
"She was pretty insistent that it go on TV and I think for her to feel that strongly just shows what she's like and that she really has a very strong loyalty to fans."
