We don’t know about you, but we were massively gutted when we heard that the big impendingKylie Minogue and Jason Donovan Hit Factory Live reunion wasn’t going to happen because the venue, Hyde Park, had become a muddy mess due to the weather. And it was with a tear in our eye and a song in our heart (Especially For You in case you were wondering), we bid farewell to all hopes of seeing our favourite pop duo sing together again… that is, until now.
That's right, today Pete Waterman (the man behind Hit Factory Live) has given us some great news. He says he is still planning to hold the concert – and he’s hoping the full line up will once again sign up to do the show for us in December.
“We are going to do it again at Christmas,” Pete revealed to the BBC. “We are going to do two nights at the O2 [Arena], or at least one night."
"I just have to convince [one of the artists] to stay here until at least Christmas Eve and we can do it all the way we want to."
Did anyone else just do a little squeal then? We did! Oh, how we hope Kylie and Jason are a part of the new line-up.
Obviously we’re not just excited for completely selfish reasons though – although the bill of Bananarama, Rick Astley, Sinitta and Kylie and Jason would be totally cheese-tastically brilliant. Instead, we just want Jason Donovan to stop feeling so “disappointed” about not being able to perform with Kylie. We’re thinking of him... honestly.
Jason said at the time, “Everyone who was heading to Hyde Park tomorrow ..... What can I say .... we are all extremely disappointed.
"We appreciate that you all must be extremely frustrated but please bear in mind that this decision was not taken Lightly.
"Can't believe it .... Was really looking forward to celebrating the wonderful work of Mike Matt and Pete and all who made those songs. So special to a generation!"
Thankfully, there might still be a celebration to be had – and we can’t wait! So, since it looks like we might just be getting a second chance to see this musical spectacular, here’s a video to warm your cockles and remind you just how great the show will be. Take it away Kylie and Jason…
