Kylie and Jason reunite for London duet

Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are to reunite for a special performance of their classic duet Especially For You next month in London's Hyde Park.

The song famously featured in the marriage of Scott (played by Jason Donovan) and Charlene (played by Kylie Minogue) in Australian soap opera Neighbours. Donovan and Minogue were a couple in real life at the time.

The song was originally released in November 1988. It remained at number two for four weeks during Christmas and was number one for three weeks in early 1989, selling just less than a million copies.
