SHAKIN' STEVENS: 'I WANT TO BE LIKE KYLIE'

Welsh singer/songwriter SHAKIN' STEVENS wants to be more like KYLIE MINOGUE - as the Australian pop star has a talent for reinventing her image.

The star, who has scored 34 top 40 hit singles in the U.K. alone throughout his career, is still going strong at 60 and was recently announced as one of the main acts to be playing at British music festival Glastonbury this summer (08).

And although Stevens admits, that like other artists, his image has changed over the years, he wishes he could have been more like Minogue.

He says, "Rod Stewart doesn't wear leotards any more, Elton John has taken off the platforms (shoes) and Tom Jones' trousers are a bit looser.

"I look different and sound different and now it would be nice to show people what I can do in a more contemporary way.

"Look at Kylie. She's changed and adapted but still kept her fans. That's what I want to do."
