Spandau Ballet Braced To Announce Reformation

March 25, 2009
Spandau Ballet Braced To Announce ReformationSpandau Ballet are expected to their reformation at a “very special announcement” in London today (March 25th).

The 80s pop five-piece have asked journalists to gather at HMS Belfast.

Spandau Ballet, who are famous for such hits as 'Gold' and 'True', split acrimoniously in 1989.

Relations between the band members continued to sour during the nineties in a dispute over songwriting royalties.

John Keeble, Tony Hadley and Steve Norman eventually lost a £1million High Court bid in 1999 to claim a share of the royalties earned by guitarist and chief songwriter Gary Kemp.

But, along with fifth member Martin Kemp, the band are now set to reunite for what would likely be a lucrative tour.

“It's going to be brilliant, we're very excited. But it will be very different to how we used to be,” Hadley told the Sunday People.

"Obviously there'll be all the hits, the nostalgia, but there will also be a new take on what Spandau Ballet are about.”
