It has been 23 years since the two Aussie pop stars performed their joint hit ‘Especially For You’ together and they will do it again on July 11 in London.
Kylie and Jason will sing their 80s hit for Hit Factory Live in London’s Hyde Park. The performance will mark the 25th anniversary of Pete Waterman’s PLW record label.
The PLW Hit Factory Live showcase will also feature Steps, Rick Astley, Bananarama, Dead Or Alive, Pepsi & Shirlie, Princess, SInitta, Hazell Dean, Sonia, Sybil, 2 Unlimited, Lonnie Gordon and Brother Beyond.
‘Especially For You’ was Kylie’s 5th international hit, recorded in 1988 when both Kylie and Jason were starring in the Aussie soap opera Neighbours, just after the wedding of their characters Charlene and Scott.
The song appeared on Jason’s ‘Ten Good Reasons’ album in 1989 and the US version of Kylie’s ‘Enjoy Yourself. The song was written by Stock Aitken Waterman.
Kylie has also performed the song with Kermit The Frog on her UK TV special ‘An Audience With … Kylie Minogue’ in 2001.
