      Having played the titular character in the musical’s U.S. and Canadian productions as well as the 1999 film, this time he will entertain the masses as Pharaoh.
      With lyrics by Sir Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, tickets will go on general sale tomorrow at 10am.
      The former child star said of his return to the show: “I always knew I would return to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
      “Having starred as Joseph in over two thousand performances in this magical musical, I am now ready to channel my inner Elvis and assume the role of Pharaoh in Edinburgh starting this December.”
      read more on Donny Osmond
      Donny’s six-decade-long career is full of dazzling highlights.
      He shot to fame in 1963, performing with four of his elder brothers as The Osmonds before going solo.
      Donny has sold over 100 million records, receiving 33 gold records and headlining a record-breaking Las Vegas residency.
      In 2010, he upset Lady Gaga’s fans after slamming her Telephone music video, featuring Beyonce.

      The raunchy video was filmed in a women’s prison and saw Gaga kissing a female inmate before dancing in a bikini.
      Religious Donny was left outraged and said at the time, “I’m all for freedom of speech and against any form of censorship, but all I know is that I’m a parent and I’m upset about this.
      “I wouldn’t want my child to watch this video. Would you? What do you think?

      “Should these two extremely gifted female role models for millions of young girls, maybe, have given a little more thought to the effect it might have on their core audience?
      “Unlike 20 years ago, in today’s modern, viral world in which content becomes instantaneously available irrespective of age, I wonder whether the music industry might need to rethink its marketing policies with regard to making an explicit music video containing profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence available to anyone with Internet access.”

      The personal trainer said that she broke down in floods of tears at her TV star parents home when the split was announced publicly.
      She told OK! Magazine: “The day that the statement came out, James had Bodhi and I went round to my parents’ house and I just sat and cried all day. They just gave me massive hugs and didn’t leave my side.”
      Chloe said her dad Richard, 67, and mum Judy, 75, have offered her words of comfort and support during this difficult time.
      “My mum and dad’s title line is, ‘As long as you’re happy, we support you.’ So they’re fine,” she said.

      “Everyone is very adult about it. No one has any interest in any family drama.”
      Chloe said she was grateful to have “kind and warm” parents, adding: “I really hit the jackpot”.
      It comes after fitness enthusiast Chloe was forced to deny she was pregnant as she and James reunited at Christmas.

      Chloe and James confirmed their split in an emotional statement in October.

      Shortly after, Chloe filled her social media with a slew of cryptic comments – including stating how she feels “lucky” in her current state.

      Serie A has lost the “Beckham Law” after tense discussions took place with the Italian government.
      The law, officially known as the Crescita Decree, let’s high income earners from foreign countries have a 50 per cent discount on their tax bill.
      It is thought to attract foreign footballers to the Italian leagues and helps to increase competitiveness across Italy’s top flight.
      Read More on Showbiz
      The ruling is remarkably similar to the “Beckham Law” in Spain which allows high income foreign earners to pay just 24% income tax for their first six years in the country.
      The tax decree was coined the “Beckham Law” after David Beckham became one of the most notable foreigners to take advantage of it after he moved to Real Madrid in 2003.
      But the Italian equivalent will no longer stand after discussions in the Italian Council of Ministers have led to the rule being binned.
