Kylie Minogue

**Kylie Ann Minogue**,  (; born 28 May 1968) is an Australian singer, songwriter and actress, sometimes known simply as **Kylie**. She became popular in the late 1980s, because of her role in the Australian television soap opera _Neighbours_, before becoming a pop and dance singer.

## Early life

Kylie Ann Minogue was born on May 28, 1968 in Melbourne to a Welsh immigrant mother and Irish-Australian father. Her sister Dannii is also a singer, and her brother Brendan works as a cameraman.

## Career

She was signed to a contract by British songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman, she got hit records throughout the world. Her popularity began to decline by the early 1990s and she left Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992. For years she tried to become an independent performer and songwriter. Her projects were widely talked about, but her albums resulted in the lowest sales of her career.

In 2000, Minogue became popular again as a dance-pop singer and became well known for her sexual music videos and elaborate concerts. She has one of the longest and most successful careers in pop music, and she has become one of the most recognisable celebrities and sex symbols. In Australia, she holds the record for the highest concert ticket sales for a woman, and has had nine singles at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart.

She finished her chemotherapy treatment in January 2006 but still needed six more weeks of radiotherapy to stop any new cancerous tumours from growing.
