Kylie Minogue has been booked to perform at next year’s Glastonbury Festival.
The 50-year-old pop princess was scheduled to hit the stage at the music extravaganza, held near Pilton, Somerset, England, 12 years ago but was forced to pull out a month before when she discovered that she had breast cancer.
However, more than a decade on, the ‘Spinning Around’ hitmaker will finally get her chance to perform solo at the five-day festival as she has reportedly been secured for the Legends slot on the Pyramid stage on the Sunday night.
A festival insider told The Sun newspaper: "Kylie had to pull out of Glastonbury in 2005 just a month before she was due to appear so this performance will be a very emotional and poignant moment for her. She jumped at the opportunity to appear next year and it is the perfect way to celebrate her career."
Kylie has made no secret of the fact that she’d love to perform at Glastonbury and admitted in July that it would be a very "emotional" show for her to do.
She said at the time: "When I was supposed to do it I think I would have been the first solo female to headline in however many years it was, so I was really proud of that at that time. Obviously it didn’t happen.
"So yes, it would be amazing and very emotional to be standing there and doing what I didn’t get to do all those years ago, for sure."
Kylie does have some experience when it comes to entertaining the Glastonbury crowd as she appeared on stage with the Scissor Sisters back in 2010.
Meanwhile, organiser Emily Eavis recently teased that the artist set to headline on the Sunday night was not British – putting Kylie, who is Australia, in the mix.
She said: "I can’t tell you, but I’ll give you a clue: it’s a female. She is not British, but I can’t give you any more clues because it will get me into trouble."
