A potential reunion for Spandau Ballet is not in the works, according to Martin Kemp. In fact, he stated that he would feel physically ill if asked to go on tour with the band now.
Spandau Ballet reunited in 2009, but lead singer Tony Hadley left in 2017. After briefly performing with a new singer, the band has not performed since 2019. While the remaining members have expressed interest in doing one last tour, Martin believes that they will not get back together.
In an interview with the Celebrity Catch Up: Life After That Thing I Did podcast, Martin shared his perspective on the possibility of a reunion. "For me, it's a closed story," he said, despite having previously hinted at the potential for a reunion. "As much as people would like to see it happen, I don't think it ever will. The five of us had an incredible experience during those days. Flying around Europe in learjets and partying like there was no tomorrow at the age of 18 was an amazing time."
However, Martin also admitted that he has moved on from that chapter in his life. "Being a rock star was a great experience, but do I want to go back there? I think if someone gave me a ticket to go on tour now, I'd be physically sick. So I'm quite content with what I do now."
Reflecting on his time with the band, Martin described it as a "beautiful memory." However, there are times when he doesn't even recognize himself in old photos or videos. "It's like I'm looking at someone else," he explained. "When I see it on TV or hear it on the radio, it doesn't feel like me anymore. It's a young boy who had an incredible experience, and I feel disconnected from it now. And in a way, that's how I prefer it."
Martin also expressed his relief that the band's original split in 1990 was due to financial disagreements rather than personal issues. "Most bands fall out over girls or money, and we were no different," he said. "But I'm glad that it was just a business disagreement and not something more personal like relationships or wives. Business was always a part of what we did."
In conclusion, Martin made it clear that a reunion for Spandau Ballet is highly unlikely.
