Meet Kylie Minogue, the drummer

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue, who will perform at this year's Glastonbury Festival, is preparing for the event by learning to play the drums.

'My drummer is teaching me the drums. It's my preparation for Glastonbury. Come back and see me in six months,' ratethemusic.com quoted Kylie as saying.

More than 200 acts will appear across the 11 stages of the festival held in Somerset, England, from June 24 to 26.

Other headline acts at the annual festival this year include The White Stripes, Coldplay, and Elvis Costello. They will perform on the main 'pyramid stage' at the event.
