Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet

Woo! I love it when a great band decides to reunite, and it seems that finally there is going to be someone decent back on the scene as eighties pop legends Spandau Ballet are planning to make a comeback with a new album and a world tour.

The British band formed 30 years ago and had a string of hits including Gold and To Cut A Long Story Short.

The group split in 1999 when singer Tony Hadley, saxophonist Steve Norman and drummer John Keeble sued guitarist Gary Kemp over claims he owed them more than $1.45 million (£1 million) in royalties.

But the members have now put aside their differences and teamed up with Kemp's brother Martin for a reunion, according to the band's manager Steve Dagger.

Dagger says, "We're not making announcements yet, but yes, basically, the boys are back in town. Not just a nostalgic re-run of the old but a fresh slant on what Spandau Ballet are about."
