The 41-year-old star, who was lowered onto the stage from a gleaming silver skull, jammed all her chartbusters before a thrilled and excited audience. The gig saw the fashionista don various glamorous outfits including a stunning gold gown and a sparkling leotard.

The Daily Express quoted her as writing on her Twitter page: "Thank you to all who were at opening night and to my sensational team. It was amazing, unforgettable!!! :) yayYYYYYYY!!!!" Minogue’s tour takes her to nine cities across the US and Canada, before she ends with her New York show later this month.
