Spandau Ballet Is Back! A Message From John Keeble

To cut a long story short…Spandau Ballet is back!

After a hiatus (a discontinuity in the age of rock strata … ed ) of almost twenty years, we shall once again be prowling the world’s largest stages.

I bought a ticket to the world
And now I’ve come back again…

The pathway to Reformation has been long and challenging.
There have been many heroes along the way.
They all know who they are…

All that really matters however, at this point in time, is that we find ourselves tremendously excited and consumed by the prospect of a Spandau Ballet World tour.

Only a few weeks ago the five of us placed ourselves together in a rehearsal studio for the first time in nearly two decades.

As ever it was so, I counted to four and what happened next surprised even the most optimistic of participants…

The very, very loud noise immediately sounded like a band…
Not any band…
This band.
Spandau Ballet.

Game on…

Everything from that point on was really quite simple.

All we need now is an audience…

Looking forward to seeing you all at some time on this Journey to Glory.

Keep on Rockin’

Peace and Love

John Keeble
