'HONOURED' JOHNNY LOGAN SET TO PERFORM ONE FINAL TIME AT EUROVISION 2024

It's a case of 'What's Another Year?' for Johnny Logan who will once again make his presence felt at Eurovision no doubt, to the delight of fans.

Logan remains the most successful Eurovision artist of all time, making history on multiple occasions as both a performer and songwriter.

He became the second person to win the contest for Ireland when he performed 'What's Another Year?' in 1980 which was penned by Shay Healy.

Johnny then wrote himself into the Eurovision history books when he belted out the self-penned Hold Me Now in 1987, becoming the first person in history to win the contest twice.

He managed another win in 1992 for winning Linda Martin's winning entry Why Me?

Those tuning in to the first semi final on Tuesday will get to see the Eurovision legend in action when he takes to the stage as the first interval act as Bambie Thug battles it out for a place in the final.

Commenting ahead of the performer, he spoke of being honoured to represent the nation again in 2024.

'I am extremely honoured and excited to have been asked to perform as a guest on 7 May at Eurovision Malmo,' he said in a statement.

'Sweden has won seven times, as has Ireland. To be asked to represent my country one final time is something very special for me and I'm very grateful to all involved with the decision.

'I'm really looking forward to being back on the Eurovision stage as a guest this time and not a contestant.'

He also gave his seal of approval to Ireland's entry, Bambie Thug, who will be singing Doomsday Blue.

'It's probably the best and most original entry that Ireland has had for as long as I can remember. If it doesn't end up doing really well at Eurovision I will be quite surprised,' he told The Sunday World.

'There are so many countries involved in it and the jury has to listen to all of those songs. So the ones they'll remember are the ones that stand out as being different, and Bambi Thug's song is different. I wish Bambie the very best and would say to them "enjoy the experience".'

The news comes as it was revealed that Johnny's fellow winner Paul Harrington, who along with Charlie McGettigan won the contest in 1994 with Rock N' Roll Kids, will announce Ireland's vote.

Ahead of the contest he also had some encouraging words for Irish entry Bambie Thug, saying: 'I just want to wish Bambie Thug all the best, I think you're going to bring this home, that's the truth, I've a very good feeling about this one.'
