Ahead of turning 50 later this month, Kylie has revealed she is planning to celebrate the milestone birthday in a big way.

Speaking in the The Sun-Herald, the musician said she was planning ‘a bit of an extravaganza’ in her adopted home city of London . 

‘It’s really unlike me,’ she said. ‘I sort of shy away from that kind of thing, aside from if it’s for work.’

The Locomotion singer, who initially rose to fame Down Under on Young Talent Time in the 1980s, added the birthday bash would have some limits. 

‘For parties, I usually keep them very small… but I’m also not doing an Elton John, when he arrived as Louis XVI in the back of truck [for his party in 1997],’ she laughed.

IThe singer, who also starred as Charlene on long-running soap Neighbours in the 1990s, added she would wear a simple designer dress for the party. 

In the interview, Kylie sadly revealed her family won’t be able to attend the party, but that she would do something separate with each family member in her own time. 

Her renewed sense of confidence comes after her split from fiancé Joshua Sasse – which she recently revealed led to a ‘slow, steady breakdown.’

Kylie and Joshua became engaged in February 2016 but called it quits the following year, amid claims he had grown close to another woman.
