KYLIE AND RUFUS: A MUSICAL MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!

Kylie took to the stage in New York this weekend as the special guest of Rufus Wainwright at The Last Song of Summer Concert at The Watermill Center in the Hamptons.

Dressed in a striking Dolce & Gabbana leopard-print dress, Kylie joined Rufus for a number of duets including ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’, ‘Over the Rainbow’ and Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.

Much to the delight of fans, Kylie pulled out a 7″ copy of her 1988 debut American smash hit ‘The Loco-motion’ and joked about her ’80s stylings before launching into a show-stopping rendition of the iconic song with Wainwright.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal before her performance with Rufus, Kylie said: “I’m a great admirer of his work and was thrilled when he came to see my concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC last year. I absolutely adore doing these types of one-off gigs. To share these moments with fellow artists, to be able to go ‘off-piste’ and perform different songs and different styles is like food for the creative soul.”

The Last Song of Summer Concert benefits The Windmill Center, founded by Robert Wilson, which supports emerging artists and creatives.
