The Padam hitmaker said: "Hi Lovers, as some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of the Tension Tour. I made it over the finish line (yay) but unfortunately have succumbed to a viral infection (Hello laryngitis)
'I've tried my best to recover fast to start our next run on Monday but I'm afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform the best for you.'
She added: 'I'm so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled. Please keep hold of your tickets, we're doing our very best to reschedule the dates and will update you very soon on that.
'Thank you for understanding - you know I love you all. And I LOVE THIS SHOW! And I'll miss you next week, and I can't wait to see you all. Love Kylie xx'

Twisties announce new flavour across Australia - and it's VERY controversial: 'Absolutely not'

Two iconic Aussie food brands have unexpectedly collaborated on an unusual new snack. Twisties have teamed up with ice block brand Zooper Dooper to create a unique food mash-up. From this week, shoppers will be able to get their hands on packs of limited-edition Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss. The new flavour variety sees the classic Twisties revamped as a crunchy and candy-coloured snack. The snack food is described as combining the 'nostalgic sweet flavour of Zooper Dooper's Fairy Floss with the iconic Twisties crunch'. The result is a 'a taste explosion that's weird [and] wonderful,' according to the product description. A Twisties brand spokesperson confirmed the 'surprise' collaboration, adding that it blended two beloved Aussie food flavours in an 'unexpected way'. Simon Odisho, who is Brand Manager at PepsiCo said: 'Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss is the ultimate Aussie creation!' 'It's a flavour that is reminiscent of our childhoods in the most unexpected way possible.' 'We love to surprise our fans with flavours that are as bold as they are surprising, and what better way to launch a flavour this exciting than with a little fun of our own?' Zooper Dooper Brand Manager Georgia Fink agreed, adding that that the new flavour mash-up is 'bold, unexpected and unmistakably Aussie'. 'Teaming up with Twisties has created something truly unique that we know will transport our fans straight back to their childhood with just one bite!' But, there is (naturally!) a twist for the official launch of the exciting new snack, which arrives in IGA stores from Monday 23 June. For Monday 23 June only, Sydney-siders can make their way down to Romeo's IGA in Eveleigh to pick-up a free packet of the new Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss flavour. The catch? To get the free snack, they'll have to visit the store between 10am-3pm and 'Pay by Floss' - meaning, they have to show off their best flossing dance moves in exchange for a free packet of Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss. The one-day-only promotion was launched in collaboration with Gen Z TikTok dancer, Zac Jeremiah. Zac shared a punchy 15-second video to promote the campaign, which depicts him insisting that 'there's no way I'd dance for a new free Twisties Flavour', but then cuts to him alongside the Twisties mascot, demonstrating their best flossing moves. The Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss will be exclusively on shelf in IGA stores from the week commencing Monday 23 June, and will then roll out nationally on 30 July. However, it seems that some fans of the classic Twisties varieties are unimpressed by the new collaboration. Aussie foodie Russ Stuart, who posts food reviews to his popular social media channels taste tested the new flavour and scored it a lacklustre '4 out of 10'. A TikTok video posted to the @ account has notched up nearly 100K views and sees Russ tasting the new Twisties flavour, which he concedes does smell like a Fairy Floss flavoured Zooper Dooper. But the foodie's final verdict is that the limited edition snack tasted like 'jam on a Corn Thins without any butter'. The foodie's comments did not deter some excited shoppers, with one Instagram follower demanding to know where to 'find them' in stores. Meanwhile, other Twisties fans took to the comments section of Russ' video to suggest alternative Twisties flavours they wished the brand would launch. Among the suggestions were flavours like salt & vinegar, vegemite, BBQ, and beef.

Kanye West leaves onlookers gobsmacked as he's spotted shopping in Magaluf

Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have popped up in a tourist shop in Magaluf, Spain, after shocking the locals with their appearance in the country last month Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have been papped in Magaluf as they made their return to Spain. The couple were in the country last month, causing quite a stir when Bianca strolled through a Mallorcan market, wearing next to nothing, accompanied by the controversial rapper. In new snaps, the couple can be seen in a gift shop, next to the crisp aisle, perusing a whole host of knick-knacks, including pool inflatables, soft toys, bottle openers, and penis-shaped straws. Barmaid, Carla Ingham, heard the rapper, 48, was out shopping with his 30-year-old wife from a workmate and reported that Kanye was looking at a display with Bianca, who was sporting a figure-hugging short black bodysuit, designer sunglasses and cream heels. ‌ Carla, who has lived in Magaluf for nearly 20 years, told What's The Jam: 'My workmate Lucas first spotted him heading into the supermarket next door. ‌ 'So I started filming myself walking into the shop. I called out: 'Hey Kanye'", but it appears the Gold Digger star didn't answer. Bianca and Kanye are reportedly staying on the island for six weeks after "horrifying" locals during a recent trip to Spain after the Aussie architect bared her breasts. Kanye was seen out and about at a Spanish market in Mallorca with his wife, who left onlookers gobsmacked with her racy attire. The model wore a black fishnet style bra top, baring her nipples and leaving bystanders horrified as they visited the market. The pair seemed happy and relaxed during their time in Spain, however, witnesses say locals were left horrified by Bianca's outfit choice for their market tour, with one even heard asking if that was her "real nipple" as she bared all in her sheer bra. "People were horrified. They could be heard asking, 'Is that her real nipple?' as they walked by. Kanye was standing back a little, letting her browse the market," a witness told ‌ While Bianca didn't break any laws on the island, people were left fuming by her outfit choice. "Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person wrote. With another adding: "We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views." "How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non-celeb tried it, they would be arrested," another shared. Of course, it's the first time the architect has sparked outrage with her outfit choices. At the Grammys this year, Bianca arrived with Kanye and was wearing a black fur coat, before she dropped it to the floor and posed in a nude dress, leaving nothing to the imagination. At the time, X was awash with comments about her outfit choice. One wrote: "Kanye and that lady should be arrested for that stunt on the red carpet...... #GRAMMYs." "Every single time I have seen Kanye's wife naked was against my will," another said, while a third quipped: "Kanye's wife is fully naked.... does this event not have a dress code? Kanye West and Bianca Censori at Grammys. Completely Disgusting."
