Kylie Minogue grew emotional as she reflected on how "so much has happened" to her in the nine years since she last performed in London's Hyde Park.
Kylie Minogue on stage in London
The 56-year-old singer took to the stage for American Express presents BST Hyde Park on Saturday (13.07.24) night and she fought back tears as she grew overwhelmed by the 65,000-strong sell-out crowd.
After singing the title track from her latest album 'Tension', Kylie told the audience: "I knew you were gonna be here tonight but you still take my breath away, thank you.
“I’m really aware that it has been nine years since I played this stage. And in nine years or eight years or five years or one year or six months or one day, so much can happen, and so much has happened for me, for you, for all of us."
As well as playing tracks from 'Tension', including the global smash hit 'Padam Padam', the former 'Neighbours' star treated fans to a musical journey through her career, heading right back to the early days after her career in the soap with snatches of 'I Should Be So Lucky', 'Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi', 'Got To Be Certain', 'Step Back In Time', and '2 Hearts' after taking requests from the crowd.
Fans danced along to classics such as 'Spinning Around', 'The Loco-Motion', 'Wow' and 'All the Lovers', and Kylie handed out roses to a few lucky audience members before performing a brief a cappella segment of her duet with Nick Cave, 'Where the Wild Roses Grow'.
And the Australian pop star didn't do it all on her own as she brought Anitta - who had entertained the crowds at the Great Oak Stage with her own set earlier in the day - out to join her on 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head', while during her three-song encore, Tove Lo and Bebe Rexha joined her for their new collaboration 'My Oh My'.
Rounding off her set was 'Love At First Sight', with fans teaming up to sing 'I Should Be So Lucky' again as they walked out of the packed venue.
