    36 TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Spandau Ballet plan world tour pandau Ballet are planning a world tour next year. The 80s pop stars - fronted by STony Hadley - are set to hit the road in support of their new LP which they are cur- rently recording, their full album for 25 years. Gary Kemp told The Sun: “Everything is back on track. We want to go back on tour. We didn’t patch things up for money but because we had a deep history with each other.” The band - which includes brothers Gary and Martin Kemp, Steve Norman, Tony Hadley and John Keeble - reunited in 2009 after a bitter split for a run of shows and could make £20 million collectively from their proposed 2015 tour. The five band members - who between them produced hits like ‘Gold’ and ‘True’ - split up in 1990 and had not spoken for 20 years after disagreements over royalties. The band have been busy releasing a movie about their musical life titled ‘Soul Boys of The Western World’ which will be available in October. Janet Jackson to release new album this year? anet Jackson is expected to release a new album later this year. The ‘All For JYou’ singer has reportedly been working on an upcoming project and it is said she will pay tribute to her late brother Michael, with plans to cover one of his tracks for the record. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “The label are really pushing Janet and have made her a priority act for the year, which means a big budget.”It’s the first album she’s released since Michael died in 2009 so she felt it was fitting to include a nod to him.
