Kylie Minogue is organising a charity concert for breast cancer cure to mark the 5th anniversary since beating the disease. The concert, which will hopefully be taking place in February of 2011 with raise money for breast cancer charities as well as awareness of breast cancer. The pop princess’s friends are also reportedly going to take part in the concert- including Elton John, the Scissor Sisters, and Robbie Williams. Kylie is also going to say a special thank you to the Paris-born doctor who dealt with her treatment, helping her return to health.
Kylie Minogue was diagnosed in 2004 and after going public; the amount of women going for breast cancer screenings went up by a third. Kylie will not take credit for this however, saying, “I know a lot of women went for screenings after my announcement. And a lot of people came up to me and said I saved them. Of course I didn’t but it made them go and get checked,”
We at Di Murini have only one thing to say, or quote rather- as Basement Jaxx once chanted after taking Kylie’s place at Glastonbury festival back in 2005 after her diagnosis- “2,4,6,8, who do we appreciate? Kylie!”. We look forward to the concert.
