Kylie Minogue kicked of her 2008 world tour last night (May 6th) with a sold out show in Paris.

Performing at the city’s Bercy Stadium, Minogue played a 28-song set which was packed full of her hits.

The singer also played a number of new songs from her latest album, ‘X’, which was released last year.

Despite a huge promotional campaign, the album has failed the capture the success of her previous efforts, particularly in America.

As previously reported, Minogue was made a Knight by the French Government “contribution to the enrichment of French culture” during a ceremony on Monday (May 5th).
