‘I am having a party, which is pretty out of character for me,’ she said. ‘I usually shun that kind of stuff. With 50 and things just feeling good and right… I’ve found myself again and feel comfortable with who I am.
She added: ‘It feels less like just a party, it is a little bit of a snapshot, like a photo album of parts of my life.’
It comes after the Dancing singer reflected on her 2005 breast cancer diagnosis ahead of her birthday.

Career break: Kylie has been famous since she starred in the Australian soap opera Neighbours at 18
Kylie, famous since she starred in the Australian soap opera Neighbours at 18, has credited her looks with a natural approach to ageing, denying she’s ever had a facelift and revealing she gave up Botox because ‘I didn’t look like me.’
The Australian star has also had to contend with a tumultousous love life over the past thirty years inthe spotlight.
Her most recent relationship was with fiancé, British actor Joshua Sasse, 19 years her junior. But the couple split last year amid allegations he was unfaithful.
Speaking last month, Kylie said marriage ‘simply isn’t for her’ and revealed she believes she is more likely to become a stepmother than have children of her own.

The singer, who recently released her 14th studio album, Golden, said she tried to have children without a partner following the split, but had now decided she is happier being an aunt to sister Dannii’s son, Ethan, who is seven.
She told Vogue Australia: ‘I did pursue that. That obviously wasn’t the path for me, either. But, I think now I love being an auntie.
‘And I mean, if I was to meet anyone – that sounds really gloomy – but if there’s one person on the planet Earth who might like me and I might like them, the chances are pretty high that that person would have children anyway. So I think it’s more (likely) in that vein, than having children of my own.’
Reflecting: Kylie took to Instagram on Sunday to share a throwback 2005 photo that showed her with a closely cropped head as she reflected on her breast cancer battle
In the candid interview Kylie added that she was ‘deluded’ into thinking her relationship with ex Sasse would work out.
‘I think we all know that things were not going great in my relationship, but, you know, when you’re kind of deluded and you’re thinking maybe, maybe.’
‘Maybe this needs saving. Turns out, it didn’t,’ she mused.

The gorgeous star has enjoyed a series of long-term relationships with dashing – and often much younger – men.
Before Sasse, the Australian singer had a five-year relationship with model Andrés Velencoso, 40, but the pair split because of conflicting work schedules.
She also dated French actor Olivier Martinez, 52, with whom she is rumoured to have spent time since her break-up with Sasse.

The pair were in a relationship for five years before splitting in 2007. Martinez, who was married to Halle Berry between 2013 and 2016, had helped the singer through her battle with breast cancer.
Perhaps her most public romance was with Jason Donovan, whom she dated for three years after meeting on the set of Neighbours.
However, she left her co-star to date INXS singer Michael Hutchence for two years, with the pair remaining friends until his death in 1997.
