Spandau Ballet reunion: "we'd forget everything"

Former Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley (pictured) has spoken to Virgin Radio about the possibility of the '80s pop titans reforming.

The act - responsible for hits like 'Gold' and 'True' - broke up for good in 2000 following a flopped comeback. A year earlier, Hadley - alongside Steve Norman and John Keemble - sued former bandmate Gary Kemp at the High court, but lost.

Hadley told said radio station: "There'll have to be an awful lot of things remedied because things did get personal and it went a bit too far. The next window of opportunity that I see would be our 30th anniversary, in about four years' time."

A 30th anniversary tour is one idea doing the rounds. Former member Martin Kemp told Sky News that he'd welcome a reformation, too:

"I'm sure that if the five of us ever worked together ever again, after 15 minutes of being in a room together we'd forget about everything and we'd be laughing at the same stupid jokes we were laughing at when we were 17."

More important than Carter?!

Gah!

did they...

have jokes in the 1930s?

This is just Hadley

touting for work. If the Kemps aren't interested, then it ain't happening.

My old band

have Gary Kemp's amps and flight case that were on the stage at Live Aid...fact!

I think he'll want them back then.

They look good on the stage at The Bull and Gate with "Spandau" written on the their sides :)

I spoke to Tone on the phone a couple of months back..

..he is an affable cockney. me old mucker etc. etc.

True story

I saw Hadley weekend before last eating breakfast in the same cafe as me in Muswell Hill.

He was there with his teenage son who, complete with diamond 'effect' earing and white Sean Jean tracksuit, was talking about somewhere or other having "bare girls" in it.

Do you think he tells his 'bredren' his dad used to be in Spandau Ballet?

Innit, blood.

But it wasn't

really was it.

no fucking wonder

Martin Kemp was interested in a reunion. He can't get any work as an 'actor' and is no doubt sick of his big annoying face plonked on the side of buildings advertising those cheap shit sofas.

80s

OK, lots of shit...erm, a lot like it is today! But guess what? Everything you love today owes their sound to an 80s band like EATB, the Cure, Siouxsie, JD etc. As much as I love today's bands, guess what again?, is there a better album than Porcupine? Methinks not.

slow news day?

great to get breaking news that spandau ballet aren't reforming.
