Many a newspaper and website (The Sun, Playlouder) reported last week that Kylie Minogue had been given the all-clear by doctors monitoring her progress following treatment for breast cancer; it now seems, though, that said reports were misinformed.

The singer's publicist made the following statement:

"On 21 May last year Kylie's surgeon announced that the operation to remove the cancer was successful. Since that time Kylie has been undergoing treatments to prevent a return of the cancer. Kylie remains keen to return to work and in particular to re-schedule the Showgirl Tour of Australia. Fortunately we are still able to say we have received no news of a re-occurrence of the cancer; however at this point in time Kylie's treatments are continuing."
