In a new interview, the Too Many Broken Hearts hitmaker opened up about his health and how things have changed.
Jason Donovan shares health update amid current tour
While speaking to the BBC, he said fans have one “last chance” to see him on his Doing Fine Encore tour, which began in February 2025. However, he won’t be away from the stage for too long.
In 1998, he starred in the UK tour of The Rocky Horror Show as Frank-N-Furter. Meanwhile, in 2023, Jason chose to revisit the role and will be taking the show on tour again in the forthcoming months.
During previous years, Jason has been forced to cancel shows. In 2023, his concert in South Shields had to be postponed until the following year due to bad weather.
He also made headlines in 2024 when he was a no-show at The Rocky Horror Show in Blackpool. At the time, he apologised to fans, explaining he was “never scheduled” to perform.
As Jason has continued to perform, he announced that “nothing has changed except my age”. He noted that some of his previously cancelled dates influenced him to commit to the final run.
While issuing an update on his health, Jason added: “Maybe there’s a bit more acid reflux and arthritis.”
‘You’ve got to dodge those bullets’
During an appearance on This Morning in November 2024, Jason opened up about his battle with arthritis.
“I’ll be honest, [I’ve got] a bit of arthritis in my shoulder, a few little back issues…” he said, adding: “You’ve got to dodge those bullets as they come at you!”
He continued: “I like to swim but the other little thing I’ve thrown in there recently is a cold water swim and ice baths. I don’t know the science [of it] but I just feel good.”
