KYLIE Minogue is to play two special UK shows at Wembley Arena, it was announced today.

The Aussie singer is going back on the road after battling breast cancer.

She will bring her Showgirl Homecoming tour to London on January 2 and 3.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday.

A spokesman said: "This new show will allow the many UK fans who could not get tickets for her tour last year to see one of the most spectacular events Kylie has ever created."

Kylie, aged 38, was forced to halt the Australian leg of her world tour in May, 2005 when she was diagnosed with cancer.

She has admitted that performing again will be tough.

The show has been changed to make allowances for her health.

"I'm as prepared as I can be but I'm not sure that I'll be able to do everything that I did before not that I do an enormous amount of jumping all over the stage but quick changes are really stressful," she admitted in Sunday night's interview with Cat Deeley on Sky One.

"There's a whole other world backstage that happens six times throughout the show. So I said, You know what, maybe we won't have quick changes, we'll have slow changes. And maybe even a little chair'."

She will begin her rescheduled Australian dates in Sydney on November 11.

The singer is working on a new album for possible release next year.
