Kylie Minogue broke down in tears as she talked about her two-year relationship with INXS star Michael Hutchence.
Talking in the upcoming episode of ‘60 Minutes’, which airs on Sunday, July 13, the 46-year old pop star said the she had “never met anyone like” him.
The pair began dating in the late 1980’s before he left her for supermodel Helena Christensen.
“It’s a mixture, a mixture of emotions and memories,” she said.
Trying to stop tears, she continued, “It was a great love and true heartbreak. I had so many firsts with him.”
Earlier this year she said her former lover is responsible for many of her life experiences.
“Let’s just say I was 21 and my eyes were open to the world,” the Voice coach told in an interview with GQ Australia.
“You want to experience everything and I couldn’t think of a better person to, you know, take those first steps into the big wide world with.”
The former couple remained close friends until the INXS frontman committed suicide at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Sydney, Australia, in 1997 while under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
“I remember thinking that at the time, that of course his was the first funeral and the first kind of thing like that because Michael was just so many firsts in my life … He was. Yes, he was.”
