Kylie Minogue’s Vegas Residency Never Stumbles, Even as She Recovers From an Ankle Injury: Concert Review

Todd Gilchrist editor After a five-month stint in art deco concert venue/nightclub Voltaire at Las Vegas casino The Venetian, Kylie Minogue has just two more performances left before the conclusion of her concert series “More Than a Residency.” Given the grueling schedule she’s maintained since the beginning of the promotional cycle for “Tension,” her sixteenth album, it feels understandable, even appropriate, for Minogue to take her foot off the gas — especially while she’s nursing an ankle sprain she must ice immediately after every show. Even so, she poured what felt like 110 percent of her energy into Saturday night’s performance (April 27), delivering a highly-concentrated roundup of hits across an almost 40-year singing career to remind the venue’s 1,000 ticket holders why Minogue remains one of pop music’s most beloved and enduring figures.

Watch “famous knitting brothers” Ian McKellen and ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus agree to knit stagewear for Kylie Minogue
Sir Ian McKellen and ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus have returned with another festive knitting video, this time, agreeing to create some stagewear for Kylie Minogue.The new video was shared on the ABBA Voyage Twitter/X page earlier this morning (November 24), and shows the renowned actor and iconic musician continuing their annual tradition of coming together to knit festive jumpers for the Christmas season.The collaboration between the two first sparked back in 2021 when the pair shared a video of them knitting ABBA-branded Christmas jumpers in silence – and the footage quickly went viral online.A second instalment arrived last year too, with a video of them making a new set of festive attire being shared, followed by an ABBA merchandise range which also included Christmas cards and bobble hats.Now, McKellen and Ulvaeus are back for a 2023 edition of the tradition, this time revealing that they will be teaming up with Kylie Minogue to knit some stagewear for her upcoming shows in Las Vegas.In the video, the duo are seen knitting a new range of jumpers, before getting a surprise phone call from the Australian singer, who shares her love of their collaboration and asks them to “whip up something for the band, all the dancers and myself?”More than happy to oblige, Sir Ian wipes away a tear and declares that the two will become “famous knitting brothers” by working with Kylie.

Gen Z doesn’t know who this huge star is and people can’t deal
Andy Cohen quizzed the impossibly tall Aussie actor Jacob Elordi about her on his podcast, Radio Andy.“Do young straight Australians care about Kylie Minogue?” Cohen asked.“She’s a national treasure, period,” Elordi said.The 15-second clip has launched a debate online, proving the generational divide in Australia is strong.Yes, Elordi gave Minogue the respect she deserved, but the comment section on the clip is a bloodbath of young Aussies claiming they have no idea who our princess of pop is.Next thing you know, the youngest generation will be claiming they don’t know the lyrics to The Veronica’s Untouched.“Young straight Australians don’t know anything about Kylie Minogue,” someone claimed in a very bold move.Jacob Elordi declares @kylieminogue a National Treasure™️!Another said they’d heard of her but couldn’t name a single song. Not one single song? What about All The Lovers or Can’t Get You Out Of My Head?Another young person claimed they’d never even heard a whisper of the pop princess.“Who? Genuinely never heard of this person or anything about them,” they claimed.Even more upsettingly, the young people admitting they do know who she is, claim it is thanks to their Mum and not Spotify.“As a young Australian, I had no clue who Kylie Minogue was until my mum told me,” one wrote.“My mum likes her,” another shared.While someone else said, you had to be a “certain age” to understand the power of Kylie Minogue.Minogue, of course, is an Australian icon; she’s released banger after banger after banger.
