Shoot Me Now!

It has long been rumoured but never confirmed – until now. More than 30 years after meeting in the music rooms of the Dame Alice Owen secondary school in north London, Spandau Ballet, pioneers of the new romantic movement, are to reform. It marks the end of one of the most bitter feuds in pop.

The band will officially announce the news aboard HMS Belfast in London on Wednesday when they will reveal plans to release new songs and details of a world tour, which is believed to include a date at FC Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium in Spain.

Lead singer Tony Hadley, 48, said: "The boys are back in town and we can't wait. It's going to be brilliant, we're very excited, but it will be very different. There will be all the hits, the nostalgia, but there will also be a new take on what Spandau Ballet are about."

dont know anything about the NKOTB but the spandaus have been through the whole court case 'where's our effing money' thing so in a way its probably more like the smiths getting back together. Forced myself to watch some concert on the telly a while back - just to see of they were any good, seemd like a good idea at midnight after alot of guinness. And technically I suppose you'd say yes but there was no road to damascus happening on the whether it was really any good point of view. Absolute toss though hadley had/has a good voice. Liked 'to cut a long story short though' - had me momentarily reaching for the tea towel to wear.
