Lifestyle Gossip Monday, October 22, 2018 Ghetts calls for Spandau Ballet want to release new music pandau Ballet hope to release “new music” in the near future. The 80s Grime star to headline pop band recently replaced Tony Hadley, 57, with West-End per- Sformer Ross Williams, 30 after the group’s original singer announced he would be quitting last year, and have said they’re now ready to embark on a new music journey with their new vocalist. The group - also comprised Glastonbury of Gary Kemp, Steve Norman, Martin Kemp and John Keeble - don’t have a plan for their new music yet, but songwriter Gary admits it will be “unavoid- able” to bring a touch of the 80s into the present day. He said: “The plan is for us to see how things go, one step at a time, but we want to do new music. “As a songwriter I’m not trying to reinvent myself. I have a style, so I’m not going to suddenly go in and write a Kraftwerk album or an Adele album. “The sound will sound like us, it’s unavoidable. We’re not locked into the Eighties but it’ll be recognizable.” And Gary, 59, has no plans to hire anyone to help him write new tracks, as he bemoaned the trend in drafting in the likes of Ryan Tedder or even Sir Paul McCartney to help groups write hits. He added: “You’re always influenced by new music that comes along, you can’t help it. There’s a lot of people running to the likes of Ryan Tedder and other songwriters to write stuff. Even Paul McCartney did that.” The ‘Gold’ hitmakers are heading back out on the road this week, and say they’re stronger than ever despite Tony’s departure. Gary said: “We’ve been through so many ups and downs but we’re still here somehow - Spandau has become bigger than all of that.” Whilst his brother Martin, 57, added to The Sun’s Bizarre column: “We are a historic band, a band that meant a lot to a lot of people and played a big part in the history of pop music in this country. “So we should be so lucky to play together and have that opportu- nity. In the end, we’re a family. We might be a dysfunctional family, but whose isn’t.”
