Kylie Minogue says she has a theory why the gay community embraced her from the start of her career. The singer told The Australian newspaper this week that it may have been partly because she was an outsider. ‘Part of it is the music, part of it may have been a theory I explored, that I wasn’t always given the easiest of times back then. ‘And I wonder if part of that coming together was an understanding of not being accepted for who you are.’ The singer, now 52, became a household name as a soap opera star on Neighbours before moving into music in the late 1980s.
Her upbeat dance-pop songs generated 70 million record sales worldwide, making her the highest-selling female Australian artist of all time.
