Kylie Minogue has said she and her family "fell to pieces" when she learned she had breast cancer.
The singer of hits including "I Should Be So Lucky" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" made the remarks during an interview to be broadcast by Britain's Sky television on July 16.
"The moment my doctor told me, I went silent," the 38-year-old said in excerpts released by Sky.
"My mum and dad were with me. Then we all fell to pieces. I was saying, 'No, dad, I'm getting a plane.' He said, 'No, you're not getting a plane. You'll sit down."'
