Emotional: Kylie Minogue broke down while discussing her battle with breast cancer during an interview with Australian television
Just last week she celebrated the monumental five year, all clear mark.
And despite being at the top of her game, in the midst of a spectacular world tour, Kylie Minogue has revealed how her harrowing battle with breast cancer still haunts her.
The 42-year-old singer broke down in tears and had to leave the room during an emotional interview with Australian television program Sunday Night.
Overcome: Kylie had to turn her face away from the camera during the interview with Australian music personality Molly Meldrum to attempt to recover
In what is undoubtedly her most raw and candid interview to date, Kylie opened up about the dark period to her close friend, Molly Meldrum, before the opening night of her Aphrodite tour in Denmark.
Meldrum complimented her on her 'brave' battle with the disease, but Kylie corrected him: 'You might have seen the bravery. I don't think the public saw... well, I stayed indoors.
'My family got me through really rotten, dark moments.'
Distraught: The singer had been discussing an encounter with a sick child's parents when the memory became too much for her
Time out: The 42-year-old apologised to Meldrum, a good friend, and halted the interview
Tears welled in hear eyes and she struggled to speak after discussing an encounter with a sick child and their parents in a children's hospital.
Kylie said: 'I was talking to some parents across the other side of a bed and their child was there.
'I was saying the things that I would normally say in that situation, just making conversation with the child, with the parents, giving them some support as well.
'And then, they really caught me off guard, they just eyeballed me and said, "How are you, and we hope you get through it" and it’s like...'
Memories: Kylie explained that she had not thought about the encounter for some time and she was 'caught off guard'
The singer struggled to find her words and became overcome with emotion.
As Meldrum, a legendary music personality in Australia, started to move onto another question, the emotion became too much for Kylie and after hiding her face to attempt to recover, she apologised and dashed out of the room.
But Minogue quickly returned to the room, eager to explain why the topic had upset her so much.
Still clearly emotional and fighting tears, she told the crew, 'It's OK, keep rolling.
Traumatic: Kylie was diagnosed with cancer in May 2005, and says that her family got her through 'the really rotten, dark moments'
'The reason that that gets me is, and the greatest part of my job and what I do is the humanity of it, and there’s certain moments where that really cuts through.'
She said that she hadn't thought about that encounter for some time, and that: 'It stopped me in my tracks.'
Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2005 but at the end of February, she celebrated five years of being given the all clear.
'The five-year mark is the end of this month and I feel like I’m back with all guns blazing,' Kylie told Australian newspaper the Herald Sun in February.
Family: Kylie also said that she 'might' marry boyfriend Andres Velencoso and that he is 'a natural' with children
'I’ll have a few mixed emotions on the day. I wanted to do a concert but now I’m on tour myself. I don’t know what to do. Obviously, it’s going to be exciting but it’s also going to be surreal and momentous and a bit scary.
'Anyone who’s been through cancer or any other disease with surgeries and treatments knows you have constant reminders that this is not how it used to be. I think my path is written,' she added.
'Even if part of you wants to say "OK I get it, I’m used to this", another part of you takes a lot longer to catch up with it and get with the program.'
After their raw discussion, Kylie and Meldrum moved on to cheerier topics, including the prospect of marriage and babies with her boyfriend, Andre Velencoso, 32.
Fighting fit: Minogue just celebrated the five year, all clear mark at the end of February
Quizzed by Meldrum on the subject of marriage, she said: “It might happen, who knows!
And she even beat her old friend to the chase on the inevitable follow-up question, saying: 'Andres is a natural with children. We will just have to see but I’m not sure if that will be part of my future.
'There’s more than one way to skin a cat. It’s important for women to know there are other options available, whatever means you have to use to have a family, if that’s your desire go for it.'
