Kylie Minogue has opened up about her previous cancer diagnosis, and revealed that she is still trying to comprehend the experience.The iconic Australian pop star opened up about her struggle with the disease during a new interview with CBS News, and opened up about how, despite being given the all-clear, she still finds it hard to process the situation.She was given the diagnosis of breast cancer in 2005, and was declared cancer-free the following year after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy.“It’s trauma, and any trauma resides within you,” she told the outlet, looking back at the time. “The experience of a cancer diagnosis will live in me.

It was difficult. It was also amazing.”When asked to elaborate on what she meant by “amazing”, she added: “[It’s] amazing in that you are very aware of your body, of the love that’s around you, of your capability, all sorts of things.”“I sing to process everything, I think,” she added. “I write to process.

I perform to process. And sometimes I think I live to perform.”Elsewhere in the discussion, the singer revealed that she finds it “mind boggling” to still be performing live, 35 years after launching her singing career.

She was also asked how long she plans to continue playing live, to which she responded: “Ask my knees! Ask my knees that have been stomping on stages for years and years and years in stupid high heels.” Find the full interview below.In other Kylie Minogue news, earlier this year the singer dropped her latest album, ‘Tension’ – which marked her 16th studio LP.
