I'm a different person now, says Kylie as she scales down show
Kylie Minogue has spoken of the impact of her battle with breast cancer and said it has made her a "different person".
The singer, who made an emotional comeback last weekend with a sellout concert in Sydney, said that she "can't do the same things as before" and had needed to make significant changes to her stage routine.

The 38 year-old had to cancel her Showgirl tour last year to undergo a gruelling series of treatments for her illness, which included a partial mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The dance sequences have been toned down but she still manages to spend up to six hours a day rehearsing . Kylie also told Hello! magazine that she had ordered an overhaul to much of the wardrobe from the postponed tour.
She said: "I actually can't do the same things as before. I can't wear the same costumes. How can I do that a year-and-a-half later and feel that I was replicating what that was, when I'm not the same person?"
She added: "We're on tour again and I'm thrilled to be back. I've been looking forward to this for such a long time." The singer plans to tour Britain, with 12 dates in London and Manchester early next year.
Kylie was joined on stage by U2 frontman Bono during the second night of her comeback. However, she pulled out of making an appearance at a U2 concert yesterday saying she was exhausted.
