Jason Donovan's songs of life

If you’re like me and you were a child of the 80’s, then Jason Donovan was your world. He burst onto our screens as the star of Neighbours, Scott and Charlene, Jason and Kylie… at the peak of the soap opera’s powers. Jason became famous in Australia and around the world, particularly the UK where he’d launch his pop career and a wild adventurous life.

That life was filled with ups and downs, drug addiction, controversy, but also new beginnings. For the past 20 years, Jason has been a star of musical theatre, wowing audiences with turns in Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat, Chicago, and the Rocky Horror show.

It’s that production that’s brought him back home, starring in the 50th anniversary tour as Frank n’ Furter. And I just had to have him Take 5. Jason is a bloody legend, he has a brilliant outlook on life and a gratitude and lightness in how he approaches it. So I gave him the theme of LIFE – why not hey? He’s had a heck of one, so far.

From Bowie to INXS to Rick Astley, this Take 5 will give you life.

• David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
• Talk Talk – It’s My Life
