Did Kylie play at Glastonbury?
On December 19, 2018, Kylie revealed she would be playing at Glastonbury in the 'legends' slot.
The pop princess was scheduled to hit the stage at the music extravaganza 14 years ago but was forced to pull out a month before when she discovered she had breast cancer.
And more than a decade on, the Spinning Around hitmaker finally got her chance to perform at the five-day festival on the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm, near Pilton, Somerset, England, on June 30,2019.
And when she took to the stage it was an emotional affair for the Princess of Pop who broke down in tears.
Kylie told crowds: "I just want to take a moment..."
She then broke off as she fought back the tears.
Turning her back on the crowd to compose herself, Kylie then continued: "In 2005 I was meant to be here on this very stage.
"Circumstances meant I didn't make it. I was watching in Australia wishing things had been different but life is what it is."
The singer's set included the chart toppers Better The Devil You Know and Can't Get You Out of My Head.
Kylie also headlined Brighton Pride in 2019.

Who is Kylie Minogue's boyfriend?
Kylie is dating Paul Solomons - the creative director of GQ magazine.
He was introduced to Kylie in February 2018 through mutual friends and partied with her on her 50th birthday.
In April 2018, The Sun exclusively revealed that the pair were growing close.
A source said: “Kylie is in no rush to get into a serious relationship but she’s certainly enjoying the attention."
The pop princess has had a string of high profile romances including Olivier Martinez, Andrés Velencoso and British actor Joshua Sasse.
Kylie became engaged to Joshua after just six months, but they split in 2017, following cheating allegations.
After the split, there were rumours that Kylie got back with her former boyfriend - and Halle Berry's ex husband - Olivier.
In March 2018, Kylie exclusively told The Sun that she was better off on her own, and that she and Joshua were "just not meant to be together."
