Beschreibung
After forming in the late 1970s, Spandau Ballet went on to become
the band that defined the sound and style of 1980s pop. Founded by north London school mates Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp, Tony Hadley, Steve Norman and John Keeble, the group were pioneers of the New Romantic movement who took the world by storm.
Long Story Short tells the official Spandau Ballet story for the first time. Written by acclaimed journalist, confidant and close friend of the band Paul Simper, this is the must-read biography of one of the most successful and totemic acts of the 1980s, featuring brand-new interviews and extensive material from all members of the band.
Nearly fifty years on from their founding, Simper traces how this gang of school friends became the unofficial house band in London's New Romantic scene, delivered countless era-defining hits that dominated the charts, from 'Gold' and 'True' to 'To Cut a Long Story Short', selling 25 million albums in the process, before it all ended in acrimony and a public spat played out in the high court.
Long Story Short examines the history and legacy of Spandau Ballet and tells the inside story of one of the biggest pop bands of all time.
