Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan reunite after 23 years

LONDON (AFP) - Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were reunited on stage for the first time in 23 years on Friday as the Australian pair duetted on their 1988 smash hit Especially For You at a show in London.

"How long have you waited for this for?" Minogue asked as they sang together at the 20,000-seater O2 Arena, which erupted in rapturous applause.

During a musical interlude, Donovan swept Minogue - dressed in a short black dress - off her feet in a heartfelt embrace.

The duet sold more than a million copies in Britain alone and topped the charts across Europe and Australasia.
