Spandau Ballet Healed Wounds Over A Few BeersMarch 26, 2009
Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley has revealed that the band decided to reunite after meeting each other for a drink.
The 80s pop group, who split acrimoniously twenty years ago, announced their reformation at a press conference in London yesterday (March 26th). They are due to head out on a huge world tour in the autumn, beginning with eight shows in the UK and Ireland. Their reformation comes ten years after Hadley and bandmates John Keeble and Steve Norman lost a Ј1million high court bid to claim a share of the royalties earned by guitarist and chief songwriter Gary Kemp. Hadley told reporters on HMS Belfast that the band had restored their friendship after coming to the realisation “that time is a great healer". "We all realised how powerful the band were, the songs, and what we did as a band in the '80s," he said. "We first met in the pub, had a few beers, the stories came up and the anecdotes and we just realised that we're great mates." Gary Kemp added: "This is my other family really and I just missed them for the last 20 years. "I wanted to get together just to have a chat about all those great experiences we had. To be able to make some new experiences is a really great opportunity and that's what we plan to do." Kemp's brother, Martin, who will also participate in the reunion, was not involved in the legal action. (by Jason Gregory) See also: Spandau Ballet Make Live Return In Dublin (14.10.2009)
