Kylie will help Brits welcome in the new year with a special show in London.

The pint-sized pop princess, who is back performing her Showgirl tour after recovering from breast cancer, said that she is "so happy" to be on tour and has promised to give the new year show her own special touch.

"I've been to some great new year's parties over the years and I can't wait to host what will be the biggest party of all," she said.

Held at Wembley Arena in north-west London, the show begins at 20:00 GMT and finishes at midnight, with bars staying open to 01:00 GMT.

And if Kylie isn't enough to get people boogying then support act Bjorn Again and a specially created 3,500 capacity dance floor should do the trick.

If the praise from Australian critics is anything to go by, the show will be phenomenal.

Sydney's Daily Telegraph raved of her Showgirl tour: "[Kylie] is the consummate showgirl… stunning the capacity crowd with dazzling couture costumes, state-of-the-art lighting and staging, and special effects which almost stunned the delirious crowd into silence

Sick Kylie reschedules shows

Pop princess Kylie Minogue has rescheduled two concerts in Manchester because of an infection.

The 38-year-old has been advised by doctors not to perform due to a "moderately severe" respiratory tract infection. It is hoped Kylie will have recovered enough to return to the stage later in the week.

The two cancelled concerts will now go ahead at the Manchester Evening News Arena on January 21 and 22.

She was forced to pull out half way through the second of six scheduled Showgirl Tour concerts on Saturday - the first time Kylie has had to interrupt a live show during her lengthy career at the top of the charts.

Her early departure was then blamed on a bad bout of flu, which had hit several other members of her crew.

A spokesman has denied the health scare was linked to her battle with breast cancer, which caused a career break before the comeback tour started in November.

BEIJING, Feb. 5 -- Australian singer Kylie Minogue and her boyfriend of four years have announced their separation.



Minogue recently resumed performing after treatment for breast cancer diagnosed in 2005. In November, the 38-year-old singer told Elle magazine that her boyfriend, Olivier Martinez, had been an “incredible” support during her illness.

She and Martinez, a 41-year-old French actor who was in “Before Night Falls” and the recently released “Blood and Chocolate,” confirmed the split in a statement late Friday.

“They have made it clear that the decision to go their separate ways was mutual and amicable,” the statement said, adding that the pair remain close friends.

"Olli was there all the time, helping with the practical stuff and being protective," Minogue said in the November interview. "I don't like to say too much in public about Olivier as he’s a very private person, but I will say that he was incredible."

Recently, the tabloid press has speculated that Martinez was seeing someone else.

In the statement, the couple said that "the media's false accusations of disloyalty have saddened them both."

Minogue recently completed her Showgirl Homecoming tour, although she was forced to cancel two concerts last month because of a respiratory tract infection.
