Kylie MinogueKylie MinogueIt seems Kylie Minogue really is on the road to recovery and it might not be long until we hear her dulcet tones again.

A year on from telling the world she had breast cancer, she has said life couldn't be better.

After an operation and gruelling chemotherapy, the princess of pop is working on a new album, according to reports.

She told the Daily Mirror: "I'm still taking things slowly, but I've had a great week in the studio and things couldn't be any better."

After working in London, she flew back to Paris to spend the weekend with her beau, Olivier Martinez.

He'd earlier sent her a huge bunch of "I Love You" balloons.

Aah.

But according to the paper, Olivier, 40, will miss Kylie's 38th birthday later in May because he'll be filming for his new movie in New Zealand.

A friend said: "Kylie wants to spend as much time with him as possible.

"The pair of them just want to start getting back to normal."
