Chain listener fans of Spandau Ballet who enjoyed the songs of 1980's may wish to keep there ears on for news of a musical telling the story of the band's journey into the pop industry.
Chief songwriter Gary Kemp of the band at the recent CLIC Sargent Fantasy Ball in Mayfair told Mandrake of the Telegraph he would love to turn their history into a story for the stage.
"I see it with some touches of Gilbert and Sullivan and all set in a court," he mused, perhaps alluding to the infamous spats between band members over the years. "It's a great idea."
However, Tony Hadley was there to rain on his parade, grumpily commenting: "Those sorts of musicals seldom work."
Spandau Ballet is one of the most popular band of the year 1980s, the band which was originally formed in 1970s.
They achieved ten top ten singles that decade, including the much-loved True.
Although they split in 1990, they reformed last year and went on a new tour.
