That fellow is the 'glue' in Spandau Ballet. Go work together again and enjoy music together, another demanded, while a fifth fan simply noted: One down, three to go.

Alongside Gary and John, the original Spandau Ballet lineup included Garys brother Martin Kemp, singer Tony Hadley, and saxophonist Steve Norman. Unfortunately, the London-based group first split in 1990, amid a bitter legal dispute between Tony, John and Steve versus the Kemps over songwriting royalties.

They then reformed in 2009, before Tony left in 2017. The remaining bandmates replaced him with disgraced musician Ross William Wild, but havent worked together since he left in 2019. Despite the bad blood between Gary and Tony, Gary has made it clear that he would be willing to overlook the past to see the full lineup reunite again.

Speaking to Uncut about the possibility of a reunion, he shared: I'm not not up for it. If we were going to do it, it would have to be with Tony. When he wants to do it, then I'll be up for getting in the rehearsal room. One hundred per cent. Unfortunately, Garys plans might not come to fruition after Tony previously said that he would not get back with the band in a million years.

They'd like to get back together, I wouldn't. I want to be happy in life and I'm very lucky, I've got wonderful family and friends. I've got a fantastic band and I love what I do and I'm enjoying it. I don't have any pressures as such, Tony shared.

Back in 2020, Gary admitted that he couldnt necessarily see a future for Spandau Ballet despite his hopes. I have a lot of stuff going on outside of Spandau Ballet. Weve been through quite a lot of disruption over the last few years. And I dont know really where thats left us, to be honest, he told Parklife DC.
