Kylie fans help cancer charity

Fans of Kylie Minogue today showed their support by donating refunds for concert tickets to breast cancer charities.

The pop star cancelled the Australian dates on her Showgirls tour - due to start tomorrow - after being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

Minogue, 36, was today admitted to hospital in her home town of Melbourne. Her parents and boyfriend Olivier Martinez are by her side.

French actor Martinez, 39, has cancelled a flight to Los Angeles where he was due for filming and

told his agent he will be with Minogue until further notice. Experts say she is most likely to have any lump surgically removed and may undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone treatment to fight the possible spread of the cancer.

Chemotherapy and hormone treatment might leave her infertile.

Sister Dannii will arrive in Melbourne from London tonight.
