Singer Kylie Minogue has thanked the artists who paid tribute to her during her forced absence from Glastonbury Festival.
Both Coldplay and Basement Jaxx performed cover versions of Minogue's hit single 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' during their sets at the festival last weekend.
In a statement posted on her website, Minogue, who pulled out of the festival after being diagnosed with breast cancer, said: "I was deeply moved to hear about the tributes at Glastonbury.
"Though I'm desperately sad not to have been able to perform at the event, I was so happy to feel that I was, in a small way, still a part of it," she said.
In the message, which was signed 'Love Kylie', the singer also said: "My humble thanks to the artists and the crowd. I'm far away but I hope you felt the smile on my face and the joy it brought me."
Speaking during his band's performance at the festival, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said: "You guys all paid to see Kylie, so we thought we'd honour her with this..", before launching into the cover version of her hit. Shirley Manson of Garbage also dedicated the band's final track to Minogue.
