Eurovision all-stars will return to perform greatest hits medley at tonight’s final
TONIGHT’S Eurovision final will be kickstarted in spectacular fashion as four of the contest’s most iconic acts return to perform a greatest hits medley.
Conchita Wurst will take to the stage five years after winning for Austria with power ballad, Rise Like a Phoenix.
The all-stars will not be performing the songs that launched them to international fame, but instead swapping around their hits.
Conchita will perform Måns Zelmerlöw’s track, Heroes, which won the competition in 2015.
32-year-old Måns will then thrill viewers by taking on Eleni Foureira’s uptempo anthem, Fuego.
Eleni will then take on camp icons Verka Serduchka’s Dancing Lasha Tumbai.
The medley will conclude when beloved Ukrainian drag queen Verka performs last year’s winning track, Toy.
This year’s final in Tel Aviv will also feature a 10-minute performance from the Queen of Pop as Madonna performs iconic hit Like A Prayer during the interval.
Eurovision host Assi Azar got fans excited after discussing detail;s behind Madonna’s show-stopping performance.
