Kylie Minogue is "eager" to get back to work and touring, but is still some way from full health, according to reports emerging from Australia. The pop star's homecoming leg of her 'Showgirl' tour was due to commence last month, but had to be pulled after the singer underwent surgery for breast cancer.

A statement on Kylie's official website, on behalf of the company behind her live shows, explained that her health remains the main concern but that an announcement on rescheduling maybe just "a few weeks away". The statement reads: "We know you're all eager for news on the rescheduled dates for Kylie's 'Showgirl' tour and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued patience. However, Kylie's health is our main concern at this point in time, and we're sure you'll understand when we say that none of us want to have her back on tour prematurely. Kylie's health and recovery remains the number one priority for The Frontier Touring Company right now. The latest news from Kylie's doctors indicates that a definitive answer on 'Showgirl's rescheduling is still a few weeks away. Kylie loves performing in Australia and is as eager to be back on stage as you are to see her."

Meanwhile, the Aussie pop rocket is reported to now be in her London home with boyfriend Olivier Martinez. However claims in certain newspapers that she requires no more treatment appear to be wide of the mark. A spokesperson for the star said: "These type of stories are out of control."
