�Kylie Confidential� by Sean Smith, is an honest, authoritative and fun portrait of the Queen of Pop, who has transformed herself from innocent girl-next-door to the world�s sexiest woman, with all the twists and turns in between.
In a series of thought-provoking self contained �pen portraits� which together form a complete picture of her life in our times, �Kylie Confidential� takes the unique approach of looking at the pop icon in her many extraordinary incarnations � as pop puppet, as an original style setting talent and as one of the most desirable women on the planet.
Published to coincide with her major UK and European tour, �Kylie Confidential� builds the essential portrait of a superstar which will surprise and entertain.
�Kylie Confidential� looks at how her motivation has driven her to success, why she is not so innocent, with an exclusive chapter devoted to an interview with one of her former lovers, how she has become one of the great survivors of pop and, in the process, become one of the most desirable women on the planet.
Kylie�s recent success has been a phenomenon. She has won two �Brits�, two �Top of the Pops� awards and a �Carling NME� award as well as many others worldwide. Her 2001 million seller �Can�t Get You Out Of My Head� topped the charts throughout Europe, Asia and Australia as well as providing Kylie with her first top ten hit in the USA for more than a decade. The album �Fever�, a UK Number One, entered the US charts at Number Three, a spectacular achievement. Her first four UK tour dates sold out within one hour. Kylie shares with Madonna the distinctions of having UK Number Ones spanning three decades. She has finally eclipsed the Material Girl in terms of worldwide popularity.
�Kylie Confidential� includes a full discography, chronology and a specially commissioned birth chart. With 32 pages of stunning photographs, �Kylie Confidential� is the Number One book for every Kylie fan and for all those fascinated by a phenomenon that has spanned three decades.
