Minogue Visits Sick Children in Australia

Pop star Kylie Minogue, who recently underwent breast cancer surgery, visited children in an Australian hospital who also are stricken with cancer. She met and chatted with children Friday at the Royal Children's Hospital in her hometown Melbourne, Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported. In May, a Melbourne surgeon operated on Minogue to remove a cancerous lump from her breast. The surgery forced Minogue to postpone Australian dates on her Showgirl tour. The concerts have not yet been rescheduled. Organizers of Friday's visit said Minogue was fulfilling a commitment to visit the hospital that she was forced to cancel because of her health battle.
