Creaky Kylie Minogue takes to the stage with bandaged knees as punishing tour rolls on

Kylie Minogue recently rang in her 40th birthday and judging by her latest performance, she's feeling her age.

The pop star took the stage in Glasgow with large bandages strapped across both her knees for her third sold-out performance at the SECC in as many nights.

Despite requiring the extra support, Kylie - ever the trouper - threw herself into a string of high-energy dance routines much to the crowd's delight.

The singer, who last week received an OBE at Buckingham Palace, in the throes of a punishing four month X2008 world tour.

Kylie recent revealed she plans to still be performing at the age of 60, but, she added: 'I won't be wearing hotpants any more.'

She says: 'A while ago I sang I Should Be So Lucky as a romantic torch song on Later... With Jools Holland.

'Jools accompanied me on the piano, and I can imagine working like that.

'It's difficult to age with dignity in the pop business, but I'd like to think I've managed it so far.'

Kylie is set to perform again to night in Glasgow before taking her show to Manchester, Newcastle and finally, London.
