Kylie Minogue to have Happy New Year

You would be looking forward to the New Year too if you were Kylie Minogue. She has learned she’ll pick up an Order of the British Empire (OBE) medal after landing a place on Queen Elizabeth II’s New Year Honours List.The 39-year-old cancer survivor is loved worldwide, and although native Australian she has been in her adopted Britain for more than 20 years.

Personally I can’t think of anyone better to receive the honour. She is a fab artist; keeping up with the times with class and style – though perhaps in a few dodgy outfits. And after her courageous battle with breast cancer she has come out the other side with a smile on her face and a determination to return to her career. A big ‘hurrah!’ for Kylie Minogue.
