Fans lose it as Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan reunite on stage

The two performed Especially For You.

Fans have gone wild after Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan reunited on stage at the Radio 2 Hyde Park to perform a rare duet of 80s classic Especially For You. 

The former Neighbours co-stars, both 50, brought back some amazing memories as they serenaded one another, treating fans to a nostalgia-filled performance.

Concert-goers took to Twitter to share their excitement at the performance. 

One posted: ‘OMG KYLIE AND JASON SANG TOGETHER AT HYDE PARK AND I AM SCREAMING!! #Kylie #R2HydePark’.

Another wrote: ‘Maaaaate, this is the ultimate 80s throwdown – Kylie, Jason AND Rick Astley! #radio2 #radio2liveinhydepark #HydePark’.

A third echoed: ‘Oh my goodness. Can’t believe I’m crying at seeing #Kylie & #Jason together dancing to Especially for You. #R2HydePark’.

Jason later revealed he ‘rode his bike’ to support Kylie’s performance, and then was invited on stage! 

As they sang, Donovan wrapped his arms around her waist, swaying back and forth in an affectionate callback to their 1988 Top of the Pops appearance.

‘He didn’t know that was going to happen,’ laughed Kylie as the song ended.

Thank you Jason. We travelled back on time there,’ she added. 

Minogue also was joined by Rick Astley to sing his hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ and ‘Kids’, the duet she originally released with Robbie Williams.
