Pop star
Australian pop superstar and actress Kylie Minogue was diagnosed in May 2005 with early-stage breast cancer. On tour at the time, she stopped performing in order to undergo chemo and radiation. She recommenced her tour in November 2006 in Sydney, Australia, in a very emotional performance for the singer; it was her first time back on stage since her diagnosis. Before becoming a best-selling pop singer, Minogue was famous in Australia and the U.K. for her role on the Australian soap opera Neighbours.
