Kylie Minogue concert canceled

ISTANBUL
Kylie Minogue concert canceled Australian pop singer and songwriter Kylie Minogue’s upcoming Istanbul concert has been canceled by the concert organizers due to disappointing ticket sales. Minogue, who performed her first concert in Turkey on May 20, 2008, was set to perform once again at Istanbul’s Küçükçiflikpark on June 16. 

Özgür İpekçi, the organizer of the concert, said Minogue would come to Turkey as part of the world tour of her latest album “Kiss Me Once.”

“Her team demanded to change the concert date but the ticket sales were below expectations and we decided to cancel it. A world star like her did not receive interest in Istanbul,” he said. 

Minogue rose to prominence during the late 1980s through her role in the Australian television soap opera “Neighbours,” before commencing a career as a pop artist in 1987. After signing a contract with British songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1988, she achieved a string of international hit records.

Although her popularity declined during the early 1990s, Minogue revived her fame as a pop artist in 2000 and has become well known for her elaborate music videos and expensively mounted stage shows.
