Kylie Minogue will marry lover Olivier Martinez - twice.

The pop princess - who is recovering after a year-long battle with breast cancer - is planning two lavish wedding parties because she and her actor boyfriend both want to celebrate in their respective homelands.

The couple will have one party in Kylie's native Australia and one in Olivier's homeland France.

A source told Britain's The People newspaper: "They're planning wedding parties in France and Australia.

"Olivier even went to Corsica in February to look at venues."

Meanwhile, Kylie will perform a comeback concert in her home town of Melbourne.

The 37-year-old is planning a series of shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena in November.

A source said: "She insisted on Melbourne for her family, friends and home town supporters. And her people have already pencilled in the dates in November."

The singer - who was forced to cancel several dates of her sell-out 'Showgirl' world tour after she was diagnosed with the disease last May - is already practicing for the concerts.
