Spandau Ballet deny reforming for money

Spandau Ballet frontman Tony Hadley has insisted that the group did not reunite for financial reasons.

The band, who split in 1989, said that they grabbed the opportunity to get together again because their fans wanted them to and they thought they would not get another chance.

Hadley told Bang Showbiz: "There was a massive groundswell of desire from the fans and I thought, well, this is bigger than us.

"I'm pushing 50. I just thought, 'What if it never happens again?' It's not about the money."

Hadley also revealed that the group made the decision to reform while having a drink in a pub, saying: "After a few beers, all the old jokes and stories we'd shared came out again. So, yeah, there were a few laughs."
