Kylie returned to the stage to complete her “Showgirl” tour after it being cut short by illness. This tour included Akram Khan’s superb choreography for the Temple Section and a brassy burlesque reworking of “Locomotion”. It also featured a collaboration with the Doctor Who team for the encore version of “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” complete with original T.A.R.D.I.S and Cybermen effects.
The show was recorded and released by EMI as “Showgirl Homecoming Live” featuring a duet with Bono on “Kids” and on DVD as part of the “White Diamond” release.
