Kylie Minogue was seen breaking down in tears on stage during her show at the O2 arena, London tonight. The Australian singer, who kickstarted her music career in 1987 was presented with an award for headlining 21 shows at the arena during the course of her career.
The Padam Padam singer, 57, became the first female artist to join the venue’s 21 Club as she stopped off for her Tension Tour. The legendary club honours acts who have played the arena 21 times or more and includes huge stars including Michael Bublé, Take That, One Direction and Drake.
Celebrating her sixteenth studio album, Kylie performed her latest tour at the prestigious arena four times – bringing her total up to 24 overall. The star had no problems filling up the 20,000 capacity arena each night, and tonight all 20,000 were behind the star as she broke down in tears.
Speaking on the emotional moment, a source in attendance told the Mirror: “Kylie was really emotional and fought back the tears as she addressed the crowd. It was clear the achievement meant a lot to her.
“She proudly showed her award off to the crowd which marked 21 shows at the O2 – becoming the first female artist to do so. Tonight was actually her 24th show at the prestigious arena. She began crying as she shared that news to the crowd, it was a really touching moment as she reflected on her career.
“Everyone in the arena supported her and had her back. It was clear she appreciated the love and support of her fans, as she always has.”
Kylie’s friends and fans have come out in full force to support her on her mammoth tour, with Britain’s Got Talent star Amanda Holden turning up to support her friend on Monday night.
The BGT host was in her element at her friends gig, as she danced alongside fellow BGT judge Bruno Tonioli and BBC co-star Alan Carr.
Louise Redknapp was also part of the long list of celebrities to show support to the Can’t Get You Out Of My Head singer on social media. Taking to Instagram this morning, Kylie posted a range of pictures and videos from her O2 shows, alongside the caption: “Another amazing night at the O2. Here we go again!!!! Let’s go London!”
After wrapping up her London shows, the singer will be heading to Birmingham and Glasgow before heading of to Europe, staring in Berlin.
It’s been a busy year for the star, who kicked off the tour in Australia at the start of the year, before travelling to the United States and later stopping off in the United Kingdom.
