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.' Kylie continued: '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' Kylie kicked off her sold-out UK leg of her Tension Tour at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on May 16. She was due to perform at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany on Monday June 16 before moving on to Poland, Lithuania and Estonia.

The legendary club honours acts who have played the arena 21 times or more and includes huge stars including One Direction, Drake, Michael Bublé and Take That. Celebrating her sixteenth studio album, Kylie performed her latest tour at the prestigious arena four times - bringing her total up to 24 performances at the O2 overall. The pop star had no issues filling up the 20,000 capacity arena each night. Speaking about one of her London gigs, an attendee told the Mirror: "Kylie was really emotional and fought back the tears as she addressed the crowd. It was clear the achievement meant a lot to her. She proudly showed her award off to the crowd which marked 21 shows at the O2 - becoming the first female artist to do so. Tonight was actually her 24th show at the prestigious arena. "She began crying as she shared that news to the crowd, it was a really touching moment as she reflected on her career. "Everyone in the arena supported her and had her back. It was clear she appreciated the love and support of her fans, as she always has."

Drew McIntyre Reveals Off Limits Topic During CM Punk Feud
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Drew McIntyre has revealed there was one topic he considered off-limits during his intensely personal and brutal 2024 feud with CM Punk: their families. The rivalry between McIntyre and Punk was often praised for blurring the lines between storyline and reality. However, in a recent interview with Gorilla Position, McIntyre explained that while he and Punk didn't agree to any rules beforehand, he has a personal boundary he will not cross. "I mean, I've got personal rules, and I imagine he has something similar, family is off-limits," McIntyre stated (H/T to WrestleTalk). He noted that acknowledging CM Punk's wife, AJ Lee, was acceptable because of her history in wrestling, but he would not go further. "I would never say anything negative about her, she's a lovely person, unlike him," McIntyre clarified. "But no, that's just something personal for me and I imagine for himself, the way we were brought up, kind of old school, was like 'okay, it's nothing to do with your family, leave them out of it.'"
