MADONNA looks set to include Australia on her 2006 world tour, it was revealed yesterday.Music industry insiders say Madonna will tour the US through June and July, then head to Europe before touring Japan and Australia towards the end of the year. She would cap off a superstar summer with Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue both expected to tour Australia at the end of 2006. Madonna is expected to perform outdoor shows in Australia, meaning she would need to tour closer to summer. The star's last two tours bypassed Australia; her last visit here was in 1993. "If I go to Japan I'll go to Australia, I promise!" Madonna said in October. The new tour is set to focus on the dance theme of Madonna's latest album, Confessions on a Dance Floor. "It'll be all discotheques and disco balls," Madonna promised. Meanwhile, Madonna fuelled reports she is suffering from exhaustion when she failed to perform at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France, on Saturday. The Hung Up hitmaker, 47, withdrew from the prestigious awards ceremony on Friday - giving organisers one day's notice. A source told Le Parisien: "She is exhausted. She rehearsed a lot of her routine for the video and she is on a strict diet to maintain her young and sexy image." However, the singer's publicist Liz Rosenberg, insisted Madonna was busy "filming her new video". - with wires --
