Bono and Kylie: meow!

U2 frontman Bono showed his support for Kylie Minogue last night by singing a duet with the Australian pop singer in Sydney.

The duo sang Minogue’s hit, Kids, which the singer originally recorded with Brit Robbie Williams, before 10,000 people at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the company of greatness tonight,” Minogue said.

“Let me hear it for Bono.”

Bono emerged on stage holding a diamante-encrusted microphone and wearing a black suit, following Minogue around the stage as the crowd erupted. There was more screaming midway through the song when Bono pulled from his suit jacket a diamante-encrusted cat leash.

Minogue was wearing a leopard-print cat suit.

“It’s such an honour for you to sing with me,” Minogue said.

Bono then jumped in and said, “You’re perfect”.

The pair danced around the stage and Bono got down on his knees, kissed Minogue’s hand and thanked her at the end of the duet.

Minogue kicked off her Showgirl Homecoming Tour in Sydney on Saturday night. It was the first time she had performed in front of a crowd since being diagnosed with breast cancer in May last year.
