Spandau Ballet are set to release their first single in nearly two decades. Once More will be released on 9 November, 20 years to the month that the so called New Romantics released their debut single Crashed Into Love.
The band, best known for a string of 80s hits including True and Gold, reunited in March of this year. They split under resultedly acrimonious circumstances in 1990. Singer Tony Hadley told the BBC: "We got back together and the tour dates went on sale, none of us could believe the fantastic reaction we got from fans."
He continued: "When the chance came to get into a studio and play music together, we couldn't pass it up."
Tickets for their comeback show at the O2 Arena in London sold out in less than 20 minutes, when they went on sale earlier this year. The success of their comeback appears to have eased communication between the band. Guitarist Gary Kemp said the band had "gelled" this time around.
Kemp said: "The new song was a way for us to show that Spandau Ballet are back, not just to play the hits on tour, but also to take on our generation in the pop charts."
Once More is taken from an album of the same name, which features reworked versions of some of the band's past hits. A release date for the album has not yet been announced.
