Jason Donovan is poised for a chart comeback.

“It feels great to be going back in the studio,” Donovan said.

“I know exactly how I want the new album to sound and I’m as excited as I’ve ever been about a record.

“I want to give a massive thank-you to my fans for all their support in 2011, here’s to a brilliant 2012.”

Singles include Too Many Broken Hearts, Nothing Can Divide Us, and his duet with then lover Kylie Minogue, which is still the biggest seller of his career.

Most recently he played the role of Tick in the Prisciulla musical on London’s West End, having famously turned down the Felicia role played by Guy Pearce.
