Kylie feeling better and making music again

Kylie Minogue is back in the studio and making new music following her illness.

The Australian singer has been battling breast cancer for the past year, but insists she is feeling much better now.

"I'm still taking things slowly, but I've had a great week in the studio and things couldn't be any better," she said.

Minogue's sister Dannii has told how she kept in good spirits during her illness. "We'd love to do what we call daggy dancing -- just really stupid dancing to anything I had on my iPod," she told Cosmopolitan magazine.
