I know this much is true….

Let me tell you this, then I promise I’ll shut up about Spandau Ballet. I was working on a commercial with Gary Kemp and asked him why he didn’t get Spandau Ballet back together again. “I’d love to”, he said, “So would my brother but since the court case, Tony won’t speak to us”. Tony Hadley lived at the end of the my road and a few days later, I saw him in Muswell Hill Broadway. I’d never spoken to him suddenly but heard myself call out “Tony? You don’t know me but I was working with Gary Kemp the other day…..” His face darkened but I ploughed on……”And he said he’d love to get the band back together. I just couldn’t walk past you without passing that on”. Tony Hadley no longer lives at the end of my road. He moved a few months later with the millions he must have made from the Spandau Ballet re-union tour.
