Australian pop star Kylie Minogue has split from her longtime manager Terry Blamey.
The two go back to her 1987 debut single, “The Loco-Motion,” and Blamey was present for Minogue’s very first concert in Tokyo in 1990.
According to Aussie music news site Noise11, just a week ago, Minogue paid tribute to Blamey at an industry event, thanking him in her speech “for helping a 19-year-old girl take on the world and become a woman and an artist.” She later toasted, “Here’s to the future.”
The split brings an end to one of the most successful business relationships ever in the Australian music industry, writes Noise11.
According to Britain’s Sunday Mirror, which quotes Blamey in confirming the news, the split is said to be amicable. Blamey began his artist management career in 1966 and also worked with Dannii Minogue.

PopJustice wrote my favourite bit about this:
“This is a far more powerful video than you initially expect it to be. By about halfway through you realise that as well as this compilation telling the story of modern pop, every twenty seconds you’re being hit with a song that either defined or played in the background of key parts of your own life. Yours is a life whose ups and downs have all been accompanied by a Kylie song. You are Generation K.”
