Kylie Minogue has revealed she hopes she will still be performing well into her 80s.
The 57-year-old pop icon, who remains one of music’s most enduring stars more than thirty years after her debut, was asked by The sun whether she could still imagine herself on stage in her later years.
To which she replied: “I hope so with all my heart, yes.”
But despite that desire, Kylie admitted she doesn’t think that far ahead, as when asked if she was making long-term plans, she simply replied, “No.”
Kylie went on to explain that her entire career has been shaped by instinct rather than strategy. “How I did this, another reason why it’s a bit miraculous for me is that I’m not a planner.
“I say it in the documentary, I like to be fluid, I’m quite non-committal about the ideas and concepts. Are you an actor or a singer, or are you this or that…” she added.
Her comments reflect a theme that runs through much of her life, and that she never wanted to be pigeonholed or defined by a single role.
From her early days Neighbors Thanks to her countless reinventions in pop, dance and disco, Kylie has built a career that focuses on flexibility and refuses to fall in line.
Kylie has long rejected the idea of being pinned down or told what she can’t, something she brings up in her Netflix docuseries Kylie, which drops on Netflix on May 20.
She told me Variety“I’ve been trying to figure it out for the last few days. And it’s kind of related to the fact that we don’t want to be defined, that we’re all working, we’re all moving.”
The Padam Padam hitmaker even compared her mentality to the famous one Stupid and stupider scene in which Jim Carrey’s character clings to the smallest glimmer of hope.
“It’s like Dumb and Dumber. He’s in love with the girl. He says, ‘What are the chances?’ She says, “One in a million.” He says, ‘So there’s a chance!’” Kylie Minogue explained her mentality.
