Stricken Kylie denies Games appearance rumour

Pop diva Kylie Minogue’s Australian tour promoter denied today that the singer, who underwent breast cancer surgery in May, will perform at next year’s Commonwealth Games in her home town of Melbourne.

“Any suggestions or inferences that Kylie is to appear in any part of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne are completely erroneous and misleading,” Michael Gudinski said in a statement posted on the Web site of the star’s Australian tour promoter, The Frontier Touring Company.
