Morrissey Is Back PRAISE THE LORD !

[Pennywise]

Should be interesting to see what he has to say about the other members, whether or not he still speaks with Johnny Marr, obviously he doesn't speak with the other two, Mike Joyce & Andy....something or other after the messy court case but nonetheless should be quite fun.

didnt martin kemp have the same problem yrs ago?

[Pennywise]

Yep. Tony Hadley tried (unsuccesfully) to get an equal share of the Spandau Ballet profits from Martins brother Gary. Now he's reduced to being on shitty programmes like reborn in USA. Gary must've had a better lawyer than Morrissey !

[Ace]

No, that was Tony Hadley who pissed his fortune away then decided to ask the Kemp brithers for royalties. They said 'no' and he took them to court, and predictably, lost. He also tried to use the Spandau Ballet name for his own band and Gary Kemp threatened court action again.

they were good as the krays though was never a spandau fan,the only 1 iliked was chant no 1,duran duran were better.

Gary appeared on the brilliant US sitcom 'The Larry Sanders Show' as the resident band leader who had a row with Hank (the excellent Jeffrey Tambor) when called a 'fucking Limey'.

Then you can't have listened to them properly. Forget all the nonsense about Morrissey's personality ... it's great stuff. I defy you to listen to "How Soon Is Now" in full and not be slightly impressed.
