SYDNEY, Sep 27, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue says she's ready to pick up the tour she was forced to abort after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
Most of the ticket-holders across Australia decided to keep their seats and wait until Minogue was ready to reschedule the shows, the Sydney Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.
The Nov. 11 Sydney concert will mark Minogue's first appearance on stage since her diagnosis last May.
"I feel like there's unfinished business," she told the newspaper. "Which makes it feel like it's a duty and partly I feel it is, because people have been so loyal and showed me so much hope in the fact they held on to their tickets. I feel really inspired, more than I have for quite a while."
She was hesitant to declare herself cured of cancer, saying "it's not something where they say 'you're better' and you're better, it's an ongoing process."
And she said she looks at her return to touring as an extension of her cancer treatment.
"It's such an important part of recovery to get on and do what you do and be who you are," she said. "I'm finally starting to come out of that haze."
