Being a star is definitely no protection from the normal health problems that plague us common people. Ask Kylie Minogue and she will attest to this fact. Last Saturday, she had to cut a performance short because she was suffering from the flu.

Kylie’s concert in Manchester, England was supposed to last for about 2 and a half hours. However, due to her illness, she was only able to perform for about half the planned time. Most of us are sure to remember that the famed singer had to go on a hiatus in 2005 due to breast cancer.

She underwent treatment and took her time recovering from the illness. She has been hailed as a model for women all over the world as she showed immense strength during her whole experience. Following her recovery, she had been quick to come back to her old life.

This concert in Manchester was part of her come back tour. Her publicist was quick to point out that the cutting short of the concert was in no way related to her experience with breast cancer. It was merely the flu, as many of the crew members also were suffering from it. However, Kylie did not want to let anyone down and decided to go on with the show. The spirit may be willing but the body definitely has a mind of its own sometimes. As such, she had to leave the stage way before the scheduled end of the concert. What can you do but admire such spirit?
