Hanson have already begun their 25th Anniversary tour in Australia to rave reviews, with ‘The Music’ saying: “Hanson finish off their two-hour killer set with ‘Lost Without Each Other’ after literally smashing out 27 hits, with no sign of stopping after 25 years in the business.”

Let’s just say, this video is nothing short of amazing, and it also includes a crowd sing-along of 'Happy Birthday' for Josh.
