Princess Kylie

Kylie Minogue feels like "a princess on top of a cake" when she is on tour.

The singer returned to the stage this year after beating breast cancer for her rescheduled Australian 'Showgirl' tour dates and admits it was incredible experience.

She said: "I feel like a princess perched on top of an enormous tiered, iced cake, but if it weren't for the crew there would be no cake.

"I like that aspect of touring, being part of something that is a group effort.

"I think it's probably because I started in television, where you can do nothing without all those people supporting you."

Despite being thrilled to be back performing, Kylie has pulled out of headlining next year's Glastonbury Festival.

The diminutive singer was tipped to headline the closing day, but festival organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed she will be too busy touring to attend.

Emily said: "Kylie has a lot of touring up her sleeve and I think if she was going to do Glastonbury, she'd have to rework her show and I don't think it's going to be possible in that time frame. It's just not going to happen.
