Pop icon Kylie Minogue has opened up about the death of her ex, INXS singer Michael Hutchence, in an emotional interview ahead of the release of her upcoming Netflix documentary series Kylie.
“That was the first time I cried on camera in the interviews,” the “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” singer said of reflecting on her romance with Hutchence in a new interview with Hello. “I was like ‘uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh’, I knew it was gonna happen and here it comes. I didn’t think it would be about that conversation. But when I really think about him and talk about him, I can often just feel his presence and think about that time.”
Minogue and Hutchence dated from 1989 to 1991, and the rocker died by suicide in 1997.

“In the conversations about Michael [in the documentary] I was really trying to put myself back in the moment, so I would become more emotional, which was interesting,” Minogue told the outlet. “I think it was good. I think maybe it’s just something that people can relate to.”
The “Padam Padam” performer also revealed a health update, more than 20 years after she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, leading to treatment and the cancellation of her headlining Glastonbury festival appearance at the time.
Minogue said it was a “struggle” to revisit the health scare for the documentary series, admitting that it was “both cathartic and difficult” to discuss on camera.
“You know, I’m talking about it from a vantage point where I’m not in that situation now, so my only struggle with that is I can never really tell that whole story because there’s a lot to it and it doesn’t kind of come and go,” the 57-year-old said. “It’s something you still have to navigate.”
Minogue “knew that [the cancer battle] would be part of the story,” adding that her 2023 Tension album cut “Story” was a bit of a therapeutic exercise in telling her fans about he experience.
“I just keep going to the song, were you part of my story?” she added, later explaining, “Again, I think my audience, in general, know there’s boundaries and are happy to exist with me either reading between the lines or knowing that — you’ve got my heart, but my common sense holds me back a little bit. And I’m happy with that ratio.”
