The news of a single follows impressive ticket sales for the New Romantic band’s upcoming tour, which includes a number of nights at the O2.

“We got back together and the tour dates went on sale; none of us could believe the fantastic reaction we got from fans,” said Spandau singer Tony Hadley.

“When the opportunity came to get into a studio and play music together, we couldn’t pass it up.”

Back in the 80s, Spandau Ballet were regulars in the upper reaches of the singles charts, with hits including To Cut a Long Story Short, True and Gold.

“The new song was a way for us to show that Spandau Ballet are back, not just to play the hits on tour, but also to take on our contemporaries in the pop charts,” said main songwriter Gary Kemp.
