KYLIE MINOGUE HAS been forced to shelve plans for an upcoming world tour - on the advice of her doctor.

The pint-sized pop star only recently beat breast cancer, and doctors feel a world tour would be pushing herself too hard, threatening her health.

Only a few weeks ago, her friend, stylist and adviser, William Baker, spoke of plans for the tour, saying: 'I am heading back into the studio with Kylie in February to start training for the tour we want to do in June. It's going to be fabulous.'

But the singer has confirmed it won't be possible. Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said: 'The tour is not going to happen, it is far too soon. I can't do it next year. It kind of breaks my heart because that is what I'm in this business for.

'Not being able to go ahead with my plans is a real downer.

'Every woman has to face up to new priorities, near the top is health. I take my health very seriously but not obsessively. Everything is about pacing yourself.'
