ABOUT HER:

Australian-born Minogue became an international star after the Aussie TV soap Neighbours became a suprise hit with British and European viewers in the mid-late 1980s. She had always been interested in music, and started recording, scoring an early chart-topper in Australia with an infectious cover of the Sixties dance track The Locomotion. Leaving Neighbours she was recruited by London “hit-makers” Stock, Aitken Waterman. Her first UK single I Should Be So Lucky was an instant hit, and the girl once dubbed “the singing budgie” was on her way. Pop hits followed in quick succession, including Step Back in Time, and Better The Devil You Know. Her success brought her into contact with other pop stars, and she had a whirlwind romance with INXS singer Michael Hutchence. Though the relationship didn’t last, she became ever-more in demand with the tabloids and glossy magazines during the 1990s, her every move snapped by paparazzi. She has appeared in films such as The Delinquents and Moulin Rouge, while her music videos have promoted an ever “sexier” image. With album sales continuing in the millions, her fame spread further in the Noughties. Her younger sister Danielle (Danii) has also had a successul career in showbusiness.
