David Furnish Tells Kylie: Be Selfish

FURNISH WARNS MINOGUE TO 'BE SELFISH'KYLIE MINOGUE was heartbroken to shelve her tour after her diagnosis of breast cancer earlier this month (17MAY05) - but SIR ELTON JOHN's partner DAVID FURNISH insists the singer must put concerns for her disappointed fans aside if she wants to recover fully.Furnish, who is set to wed his ROCKET MAN star lover in December (05), reveals they were both devastated to hear the news of Minogue's illness, and he warned the 36-year-old Antipodean to retreat to the bosom of her family and be "completely selfish". He says, "When Elton heard the news, he said, 'Oh my God, the poor girl', and got straight on the phone."Four of our friends have had breast cancer within the last few years. They've all been hardworking, dynamic and successful women who lead full lives, just like Kylie."I'm sure the fans are disappointed, but if they're real fans they'll understand she needs to be with her family now."All my friends who have faced it are still alive and doing well. They all put everything else aside - you have to be completely selfish."
