Kylie Minogue is currently on her More Than Just a Residency residency in Las Vegas.
It began in November last year and is scheduled to run until early May.
This isn’t the first time Minogue has performed in Las Vegas, as she recalled during a Los Angeles press conference that she had “performed a couple of times but as part of a tour.”
Speaking on what she planned her residency to be, Minogue said, “I want it to be the kind of essence of what a Kylie show has become, enough glamour and abandon. I’ve got some versions of songs that have not been heard, like reinterpretations of songs, which is exciting.”
“Live bed dances, amazing costumes. That’s the base and then we’ll see what surprises we can come up with,” she added.
The residency supports Minogue’s latest album, Tension, which was released on September...
