Kylie Minogue |
Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE was born on 28th May 1968 and is one of this generation's most loved musical artists and actresses.
Her career began as a child actress where she hit the headlines with her infamous on-screen relationship with Jason Donovan in the hit Aussie soap Neighbours. The whole of the UK was gripped by the storyline of Charlene and Scott, a plot which threw them into the limelight.
Kylie then left the soap and such was her fame she began her career as a recording artist in 1987. Her first single, "Locomotion", spent seven weeks at number one on the Australian singles chart and became the highest selling single of the decade. In 1988 her debut album, Kylie, and the single "I Should Be So Lucky", each reached number one in the United Kingdom, and over the next two years, her first 13 singles reached the British top ten.
It hasn't always been plain sailing for Kylie though - despite the popularity of her singles, Kylie's album sales were declining, and she left her label Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992 to establish herself as an independent performer. Her next single, "Confide in Me", reached number one in Australia and was a hit in several European countries in 1994.
After a couple of years of relative obscurity, Kylie returned to prominence in 2000 with the single "Spinning Around" and the dance-oriented album Light Years. She performed both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In 2005 Kylie embarked on a concert tour but cancelled it when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery and chemotherapy treatment, she resumed her career in 2006 with Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour. Her tenth studio album X was released in 2007 and was followed by the KylieX 2008 tour.
To date Kylie has achieved worldwide record sales of more than 68 million, and has received notable music awards, including multiple ARIA and Brit Awards and a Grammy Award. She has mounted several successful concert tours and received a Mo Award for "Australian Entertainer of the Year" for her live performances. She was awarded an OBE "for services to music", and an Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2008.
Kylie is regarded as a gay icon, and indeed several drag queens performed to her music at a Sydney pub and she later saw a similar show in Melbourne. She said that she felt "very touched" to have such an "appreciative crowd" and this had encouraged her to perform at gay venues throughout the world, as well as headlining the 1994 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
