Kylie Minogue forced to cancel concerts over sudden illness
Kylie Minogue has been forced to cancel four of her upcoming concerts.
The 57-year-old pop icon is currently on the road with her Tension world tour, but took to social media on Friday (13.06.25) to announce that she has had to pull the plug on some of her upcoming dates after coming down with an infection.
She wrote on Instagram: "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 of shows on Monday but I'm afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform my best for you.
"I'm so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled."
The Spinning Around legend reminded fans that they should hang onto their tickets and reassured them that she and her team are doing their "very best" to reschedule her shows for another date.
She added: "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.
Love Kylie xxx"
Earlier this year, Kylie had to cancel the Denver date of her Tension tour due to a scheduling conflict with an NBA game.
At the time, she said: "I'm so sorry that we're now unable to visit Denver on the Tension Tour due to a scheduling conflict with the NBA playoffs.
"I was really looking forward to performing in Colorado for the first time.
"Sending my best to the Denver Nuggets for their hometown games and I really hope to visit you all in Denver soon.."

‘Surrender?': AFL world roasts Geelong T-shirt stunt in Danger's 350th
Geelong's unique move to fill the stadium with white T-shirts for the club's big clash with the Brisbane Lions may not have drawn the response the Cats were seeking. Billed as 'a sight to behold' and a 'slice of history' on the Geelong website, the Cats covered every seat at GMHBA Stadium with what they described as 'a free collectable T-shirt' for the Friday night blockbuster. It's a move that is often used in American sports and can have a strong look when everyone in the crowd is kitted out in the same colour. Both the Indiana Pacers and OKC Thunder have adopted the move during their clash in the NBA Finals. On a night when the club was also celebrating captain Patrick Dangerfield's 350th AFL game, the commentators were certainly getting into the spirit. 'They have kitted out the Cattery with the white T-shirts on every seat, inspiration drawn from the NBA and college football in the US,' Gerard Whateley said on Fox Footy. 'It is quite the sight down the highway as the local heroes emerge. 'Patrick Dangerfield said one of his favourite parts of this would be (his children) Winnie, 'Flip' and George joining him to run through the banner. 'All the kids now fully aware of what they're part of, his place in Geelong lore, which grows tonight, game 350 … on a special night in the way that it shapes.' The fans appeared to be enjoying their moment, with many donning the shirts and a number of others waving them in the air on a cold night in Geelong. The Lions may not have got the memo, however, as the premiers made a hot start bidding for a first victory at Kardinia Park since they won five straight from 1998 to 2003. They have lost 13 consecutive games at the ground since then, yet they jumped out of the blocks with the game's first four goals. By halftime they held a 23-point edge and fans on social media were having a field day over the white T-shirt promotion, with many referencing the white flag of surrender. 'Lol white out is a roaring success so far,' was one comment on X. 'I don't think the white out worked,' said another. 'White out turning into a whitewash,' quipped another. 'I didn't have high expectations for the white T-shirt thing but it's looking pretty average,' declared another. 'Conceded the first 4 of the game, wave the white flag,' said a fifth. 'What's with the white, did Geelong decide to surrender?' asked another watching on. Others were left questioning the decision to use T-shirts as a gift on a Geelong night in late June. One said: 'Yes because people are gonna be in a T-shirt on a 3 degrees night in Geelong.' Another wrote: 'Yeah people are definitely gonna wear them on 5C winters night.' A wide number of fans used the word 'cringe' to describe the promotion, while another slammed 'the AFL's desperation to Americanise the game'. Some fans were getting on board, with a Hawthorn fan writing: 'Hate Geelong as much as the next Hawks fan but god damn those white shirts in the crowd look good.' A fan apparently in the crowd also gave an insight into perhaps why not everyone in the crowd was wearing the shirt. 'Late decision to make the trip down, might struggle to fit into my 2x small white out shirt,' they wrote. Dangerfield and the Cats need to lift in the second half or the crowd will indeed be waving the white flag.

Restaurant transforms to breathe life into vacant shopfronts
A temporary gallery is opening up next door to Subiaco's Regal Theatre with an exhibition from local artists as part of a new city initiative to transform vacant spaces into vibrant hubs. Launching this Thursday, Subiaco has partnered with urban-renewal organisation SPACEMRKT to transform a former Sicilian restaurant into a temporary gallery space Dubbed Hayside Gallery, the venue's inaugural exhibition, titled Tension, will display a range of work across different forms of media that explore themes of form, pressure and contrast. Your local paper, whenever you want it. Curated by Shaye Preston and Kate Dolan, from Side Project, creatives include photographer Ivan Shaw, painter Emma Benichou, industrial artists Kartika Laili Ahmad and Benjamin Kontoullas, mixed-media creators Stephen Brameld and Jay Staples, sculptor Fernando Sala of FDO Studio, visual artist and signwriter Sam Bloor, as well as Dolan. Running until July 19, the space will also hold a series of art workshops, community events and artist-in-residence programs. Pictured is Shaye Preston and Joel Benichou from SPACEMRKT and Artist and Exhibition Co Curator Kate Dolan.

Previously The Corner Italian, the site, located at 484 Hay Street, was temporarily offered to SPACEMRKT by local developer Westbridge Funds ahead of a major redevelopment next door to the heritage-listed 1930s Regal Theatre. The $78 million development, which was approved last September, comprises a nine-storey building with five commercial tenancies, a small bar and more than 70 apartments. Alongside the demolition of the former restaurant, part of the neighbouring Regal Theatre will also be knocked down to make way for accessibility upgrades, additional toilets and new bar facilities to the heritage space. Marking Subiaco's second venture with SPACEMARKT, Subiaco mayor David McMullen said the collaboration was a perfect example of realising the potential of vacant spaces for community benefit.

'The result is pop-up style community hubs, which encourage vibrancy, creativity and artistry. We look forward to seeing the Hay Street gallery evolve in coming months.' Director of SPACEMRKT Joel Benichou echoed Cr McMullen's sentiment. 'Creative energy can thrive anywhere, especially in the spaces most people overlook,' Benichou said. 'These two projects show what's possible when artists are given room to experiment and connect with their surroundings.' Hayside Gallery is open Thursday to Sunday.

Why NBA champion chose WA's South West as his escape
When you're seven feet tall like former Chicago Bulls star Luc Longley, poking at those hard-to-reach places around the house doesn't often require a ladder. The three-time NBA champion — now based in Perth — has joined a host of recognisable Aussie sports personalities to star in the latest Kia Tasman ad premiering tonight during State of Origin in Perth. Lacking the nimbleness of co-stars Ash Barty or former AFL gun Dane Swan, Longley is tasked with getting 'in the paint' as the famous figures give a run-down property some love. Even Spanish tennis icon Rafael Nadal, who's no stranger to clay, offers to get his hands dirty. Dane Swan joins the party at Ash Barty's Kia Tasman-inspired home reno. Credit: Enthral Unfortunately, Longley suggests, raking in rebounds and providing assists to former teammate Michael Jordan came a little more naturally than getting hands-on at home ever has. Actually, it depends who you ask. 'It's funny, because my wife would say I'm really handy — my friends would say that I'm not,' he told The West Australian. 'I believe in horses for courses. If you want a job done right, you get a professional but I can turn my hand to anything, just probably do it badly, except, obviously for painting, because Ash (Barty) got the best.' Relocating to Perth in the last couple of years with wife and celebrity chef Anna Gare, Longley spent decades escaping the bright lights of the court and stresses of life in WA's tranquil South West region. Elephant Rocks, William Bay National Park. Credit: Beau Jones @beahjones (Instagram) In 1991, the 56-year-old purchased a property 15 minutes outside of Denmark upon turning professional. 'It was the first thing I bought with my professional basketball money. And I always wanted to have a sanctuary,' he said. Claiming the town was 'much sleepier back then', the HoopsFest ambassador was attracted to the natural landscapes and close proximity to the ocean. He even hosted fellow Sydney Kings co-owner Andrew Bogut, a fellow NBA champion, at his property recently as the pair took a dip in the majestic waters. But Longley wouldn't divulge all of his favourite hideaways. 'Secret spots aren't for giving up, but Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks, Madfish Bay, that whole chain of coast along there is for exploring, for sure,' he said. Andrew Bogut has represented Australia at the Olympics. Credit: METHODE / METHODE Longley admitted the pair don't always see 'eye-to-eye', but respect what the other has achieved as two of the premier seven-foot exports to find success in the NBA. As to who would win a one-on-one if each were in their prime, Longley is as curious to find out as the next Aussie basketball fan. 'I'd love to get in that time machine. Have a go at it,' he teased. 'I mean, he was quicker than me, which he'll happily tell you, so I probably would have had trouble with him in the in the full court, but I'd handle him in the half court. No worries.'
