Last Saturday (13JAN07), the 38-year-old struggled to complete a concert in Manchester, England and walked off the stage after 45 minutes, citing the flu.

Doctors ordered her "not to perform in the immediate future" because of a respiratory infection.

Minogue was given a clean bill of health Tuesday (16JAN07) saying, "I am now overjoyed to announce that I have been declared fit to return to the stage on Thursday (18JAN07).

"Nearly all of my crew were hit by this terrible flu during the course of this tour and despite my best efforts I too succumbed last week. I was hoping to feel better as the day progressed. Unfortunately the opposite was true. I'm sorry for all those inconvenienced by the postponements."

Minogue slammed press reports that claimed she ignored doctors' advice of work overload when she added additional dates to the tour schedule.

She says, "I would just like to clarify the situation after seeing false reports in today's press claiming that I had ignored doctor's instructions. I have not, at any stage, ignored the advice of my doctors. In fact I postponed two shows this week on their advice in order to be health enough to finish the Showgirl Homecoming tour."
