Minogue Lost Money On U.S. Tour

Kylies money losing U.S. tour

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue has no regrets about signing up for her recent U.S. shows even though the tour made a loss - because she found the American gigs "so rewarding".

The Spinning Around hitmaker took her act to the States last year (09), performing in cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York.

The shows failed to make a profit and ended up costing the singer money, but she's adamant the tour was worth it.

She tells Access Hollywood, "It was a micro-tour, but I've got to tell you it was so rewarding. It was a mission from the heart... It was like... setting my wallet on fire because basically it just made no financial sense to do it, but I just reached a point where I thought, 'That's it! I just wanna!'

"I got a lot of reward from it. Right back to the heart, so it was amazing."
