Kylie Minogue To Take A Break From Music.



Kylie Minogue has called a halt to her music career just days after the end of celebrations of her 25th year as a singer, the Sunday Mirror can exclusively reveal. The star has shocked her friends by splitting from her long-term manager Terry Blamey, who helped launch her into show business when she was 19. It is claimed the Aussie was upset over tensions between Terry and her dad.

Kylie, now 44, has decided to concentrate on acting for the foreseeable future and take a break from music. A source close to the star said yesterday: “Kylie’s decision to stop recording for the time being and part company with Terry has come as a massive shock.

The past year has seen “K25” events all over the world to celebrate Kylie’s 25-year pop career, which began with The Loco-Motion. She has sold more than 65 million records and won an OBE for services to music. Last month she thrilled a sell-out crowd at London’s O2 Arena, reuniting on stage with Jason Donovan to sing their hit Especially For You. But sources close to the star say manager Terry and her father Ron, had differing opinions on where her career should head.

Kylie’s former record label Parlophone has been sold and she is now part of the giant Universal Records outlet. Yesterday an industry insider claimed the changes may also have influenced her decision. The source said: “Kylie used to be a big fish at her former label. She’s now been put into a huge roster of acts at Universal and probably can’t expect the special treatment she was used to. “She may be thinking she’s achieved most of what she wants as a pop star.”

Aw :( hopefully she doesn't take too long of a break. Aphrodite is still my shit.

Aphrodite is flawfree
rolt_me 13th-Jan-2013 12:06 pm (UTC)
awww. her music has always been middle-of-the-road post Body Language but was nice dance pop and it's not like she was ever going to conquere North America so it makes sense I guess. plus she wasn't that bad in Holy Motors
die2nitelive4ev 13th-Jan-2013 12:08 pm (UTC)
She was an actress first, I think I lot of people forget that

i wonder if she ever wanted kids. she's been working forever it seems.
saffronshire 13th-Jan-2013 12:28 pm (UTC)
At some point she talked about having kids, then when her sister got her baby she said she was happy being an aunt, so I guess it was never really on her list.
winter_lace 13th-Jan-2013 10:13 pm (UTC)
I think she's never found the right person to have kids with. She's been really unlucky in love

Damn I was gonna post this. Btw ia with OP's comment, I would SO give up Madonna instead of Kylie

about time
exlenne 13th-Jan-2013 12:14 pm (UTC)
This is all secretly so she can go be a full-time companion on Doctor Who after Moffat checks into rehab for shittywriteritis and is replace as show runner, and Matt Smith finally succumbs to bigfaceitis R.I.P. and the Doctor deregenerates into David Tennant again
iantoj 13th-Jan-2013 12:15 pm (UTC)
Ew no, not Tennant.
exlenne 13th-Jan-2013 12:24 pm (UTC)
Yes, Tennant.

From what?
ivybgreenflower 13th-Jan-2013 12:35 pm (UTC)
She just tweeted that she isn't quitting, and she kept talking all last year about how this year she'd be working on/releasing a new album. She did leave her management on ~good~ terms, but hasn't been dropped by her label. She's still with Parlophone which has NOT been purchased by Universal. /drive-by stanning
markthatcoin 13th-Jan-2013 02:54 pm (UTC)
her "#lovers #notquitting" tweet was a relief but it's doubly relieving to hear she at least has a plan for the next year :/
ivybgreenflower 14th-Jan-2013 12:26 am (UTC)
She was talking about how next year is for new music and a new tour (though I think that may be pushed back to 2014, but whatevs). I also wonder if next year is the year she gets pregnant/has a surrogate or something. She's certainly not going anywhere.
sonja_76 13th-Jan-2013 02:55 pm (UTC)
You are absolutely right. Parlophone is not a part of Universal Music. Actually EMI have to sell Parlophone for the EMI/Universal deal to be approved.
lupin_jr 13th-Jan-2013 12:40 pm (UTC)
If Kylie started out today, do you think she'd break the U.S market??
tiny_winey87 13th-Jan-2013 01:47 pm (UTC)
No, music is too fickle these days. If she broke it, it would not last in a substantial and significant way I think...
markthatcoin 13th-Jan-2013 02:50 pm (UTC)
America doesn't know a good thing when it hears it tbh
jess_not_ie 13th-Jan-2013 12:50 pm (UTC)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

if she is going to concentrate on acting her and Jason should do a guest appearance on Neighbours
