Dannii Minogue recently reflected on a difficult time in her and her sister Kylie's lives when the latter was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. The Spinning Around hitmaker was in the midst of her Showgirl: Greatest Hits world tour when she received the news, and Dannii remembers feeling devastated and helpless as she watched her sister go through chemotherapy and become very ill.
In a recent interview on an Australian TV show, Dannii shared the six words she said to Kylie during this time, which were meant to offer comfort and hope. She also fondly recalled visiting Kylie during her treatments and dancing to music together, which was a source of joy and strength for both of them. Despite her illness, Kylie remained determined to finish her tour, showcasing her professionalism and determination.
Today, both sisters live in their native Australia after many years spent living in the UK. Dannii also shared a heartwarming moment when Kylie invited her to join her on stage during her first show back after her cancer treatment. The joy and love from the audience was overwhelming, and it was clear that the sisters' bond and the support of their fans had helped get Kylie through this difficult time.
Dannii also opened up about the loss of a close friend, Laura, who was also battling cancer at the same time as her sister. While Kylie ultimately survived, Laura passed away, making it a bittersweet time for Dannii and her family. She recalled the pain of watching her friend suffer and the heavy toll it took on her.
Kylie's journey with cancer lasted a year, during which she underwent a lumpectomy and chemotherapy. She was given the all-clear in 2006, and in 2011, she reflected on the "dark, rotten moments" she experienced during this time while marking five years of being cancer-free. In a 2020 interview, she also shared how her diagnosis changed her perspective on life and how grateful she was for the love and support of her family and fans.
Before their lives were forever changed by cancer, Dannii and Kylie were both successful child stars in Australia. Dannii appeared in various soaps from a young age and joined the cast of the popular variety show Young Talent Time in 1982. She also had a brief stint on Home and Away in 1989. Kylie gained recognition for her role on the soap Neighbours in 1986, but it was her music career that catapulted her to international stardom in the early 1990s.
Both sisters spent many years living in the UK before eventually moving back to Australia. Despite the challenges they have faced, they continue to inspire and entertain fans around the world. Their bond as sisters and their strength in the face of adversity is truly admirable.
