One wonders what sort of phenomenal event, aside from the promise of liquor alone, could manage to bring Kate Moss and Richard O’Brien (of Rocky Horror fame) together. Well, it seems the two were merely part of a celebration held at the Groucho club in Soho for the Spandau Ballet reunion concert tour:

British band Spandau Ballet are reforming. The group behind hit ballad “True” announced on Wednesday they would follow a long list of retired acts who have dusted off their guitars and drum kits to launch lucrative comebacks by touring and recording. Tony Hadley, Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp, Steve Norman and John Keeble are putting past differences, and a reputation for 1980s fringes and glossy pop, behind them.

“As you can see, we’re back together again and we’re very happy boys,” lead singer Hadley told reporters. “We’re embarking on a British tour in October and then on to the rest of the world and we’re all very excited. We’ve had a rehearsal which sounded a million dollars.”

The band, which promoters say has sold 25 million records, made the announcement on board HMS Belfast, a British naval ship moored as a museum on the River Thames in London. The ship was the scene of an early Spandau gig in 1980 where hundreds of fans tried to clamber aboard . . . . Kemp added that the reunion could go beyond the tour. “This will take quite a few months and then I’m sure we’ll want to make some new music at some stage.”

No new music? So, “True” is basically gonna be the best thing they’ve got. Oh, that’s just fucking great. Cue the perpetual visions of Jake Ryan and an overwrought sax solo dancing in my head.
