Irish director of Kylie Minogue Netflix doc on the star's second cancer diagnosis, and love for INXS star
A Netflix documentary filming Kylie Minogue captured a quiet, emotional moment in a dark room. Director Michael Harte described Minogue walking in like a beam of light and stopping during filming to make a confession. While recording her singing “Story,” Minogue revealed she had received a second cancer diagnosis in 2021 and kept it private. Earlier, Minogue had spoken about the trauma of recovering from breast cancer in 2005, including a cancelled tour and losing a Glastonbury headlining slot. The moment marked a first-time self-revelation and added depth to her personal experience with cancer.
"“It was like she was telling herself for the first time,” says director Michael Harte of the moment, on the final stretch of filming his Netflix documentary on Kylie Minogue, when the famously private singer quietly revealed her second cancer diagnosis. Earlier, Minogue, 57, had talked about the trauma of recovering from her much publicised breast cancer in 2005, which meant a cancelled tour and a lost Glastonbury headlining slot. Harte was filming her singing the song Story, when she stopped to make an emotional confession: she'd had another cancer diagnosis in 2021, which she kept to herself."
