Kylie Minogue believes rock stars get cooler the "more wrinkly" they get.

The 44-year-old superstar believes rock musicians have an easier time than pop artists because they don't live with the constant expectations to reinvent themselves to follow modern trends or be young.

She said: "With rock artists, the more wrinkly they are the cooler they are! The Rolling Stones, U2, they're the greatest and they're still doing it and that's incredible. I guess you've got Barbra Streisand as well. I love to see older performers still going at it. Tom Jones is probably the one for the UK - just to be on 'The Voice' every week, and still have more energy than most younger artists."

Kylie isn't convinced she will be able to sustain her pop career in 60s or 70s like 72-year-old Tom has.

However, the 'Flower' singer - who marked 25 years in the music business this year with a slew of releases, including 'The Abbey Road Sessions' - is keen to keep on making records.

She added to website Popjustice.com: "I don't know what I'll be doing at that stage. My friends all scoff - they say, 'come, of course you'll be doing something'. So we'll see."

Kylie Minogue is desperate to perform 'Especially For You' with Jason Donovan.

Kylie Minogue is desperate to perform with Jason Donovan.

The singer was meant to team up with her former boyfriend to sing their 1998 single at the 'Hit Factory Live' concert but the outdoor event - due to be staged in London's Hyde Park - was cancelled because of safety fears due to bad weather.

This week, it was announced the show has been rescheduled to take place at the city's The O2 venue on December 21 and Kylie is hopeful of joining Jason on stage.

She said: "I felt for people when it was cancelled. It was so touching, the level of excitement.

"We did the rehearsal two days before and Jason and I looked at each other and realised we had never done it live as it was released back in the mime days of 'Top of the Pops'.

"We have done it live three times in rehearsals but that's it.

"They've revamped the show and I've said, 'I'f I'm available, I'll be there.' If it doesn't happen now, it'll be something to look forward to."

However, Kylie admits she has a very busy few months coming up.

She added to the Daily Star newspaper: "My schedule to the end of the year is making me cross-eyed - I'm all over the place."
