Kylie Minogue isn’t comfortable with returning to the touring circuit amid ongoing concerns about the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The singer released her hit 15th album ‘DISCO’ in 2020, topping the UK charts and making her the first female artist to hit No. 1 across five consecutive decades. 

“On one hand, the pandemic has opened up new worlds of possibility wherein we can create almost anywhere and deliver music to the world,” she tells The Hindustan Times.

“But on the other hand, the live sector has been hit hard and this is just so challenging and difficult for venues, touring crew and everyone associated.”

Although Kylie performed cuts from her latest LP during her ‘Infinite Disco’ livestream concert, she admits there’s a “degree of hesitancy” when it comes to performing to fans in person. 

“There is a degree of hesitancy for sure,” explains the hitmaker. “We all want it to work, so the only option right now is to navigate this new world as best as we can. 

“Who knows how this will pan out in the future. I have really missed being able to tour my last album [DISCO: Guest List Edition], but for now I’ll have to stay patient.”

And while Kylie’s always been “appreciative” of the connection she shares with her fans, the pandemic has brought a “new dimension” to it.

“I’ve always been appreciative of being able to create and connect with people and audiences, but this [pandemic scenario] brought a new dimension to it,” adds the Magic star. 

“I know my collaborators felt the same. Yes, we were doing remote sessions from our homes, but we would talk about how lucky we felt to be able to work.”
