X Factor's Mon Amie to support Jason Donovan on his Greatest Hits Tour

Jason Donovan is returning to his roots for a solo tour of his debut 5 X Platinum, 1989 album ‘Ten Good Reasons’ and  ‘Greatest Hits’. Jason will play 33 dates on a UK-wide tour in 2016.

Jason has recently announced that former X Factor contestants and harmonising 4-piece girl group Mon Amie will support him on the tour.

The girls, who all study at a leading drama school in London, left the X Factor after group mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini swapped them for gospel singers Melody Stone during the 6-chair challenge which caused an uproar with the audience.

Made up of Honey (21), Abi,(21) Monifa (18) & Izzy (22) , Mon Amie describe themselves as an "all singing, all dancing girl band".

Mon Amie's boot camp song of Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World had more than 1 million views online and their debut music video, a cover version of Diamonds by Rihanna, has received huge adulation. The band’s performance Britney Spears’ One More Time during X Factor’s 6 Chair Challenge has also  had over 500,000 views to date.

After their performance, judge Rita Ora said "I really love the girl band" while fellow judge Simon Cowell said he was "really impressed" by them.

Jason  Donovan commented; “Mon Amie are a new, fresh, different type of girl band. I watched the girls debut on X Factor and was really impressed and can’t wait  for them to join me on tour. Mon Amie are all about the strength in their vocals & harmonies, these girls need no gimmicks as their credibility, unique style of vocal and personality blends all four girls to a perfect match.”

The tour marks a huge step for the 80s heart throb: this is the first time he toured as a solo artist for six years and the first time he has ever toured the ‘Ten Good Reasons’ album.

Ten Good Reasons became the biggest selling album of 1989 and remains a massive fan favouite with two solo No.1 singles "Too Many Broken Hearts" and "Sealed with a Kiss”. It also featured a duet with Kylie Minogue"Especially for You", which reached No.1.

Jason Donovan commented;

“The response to the tour has been totally overwhelming. I have been shocked and humbled by the speed at which these shows sold. Ten Good Reasons’ was life changing for me the first time around and it’s already proving to be life changing again.”
