Spandau Ballet Perform True For Jimmy Kimmel

by Roger Wink, VVN Music on November 12, 2014

Spandau Ballet were huge in the U.K and Europe through the first half of the 80’s, scoring ten top ten hits in six years, but here in the states, they were mainly known for the single True (1983 / #4).

The band split up in 1989 but reformed twenty years later to tour and rerecord their music on the album Once More. Now, they have released a true hits collection with The Story: The Very Best of Spandau Ballet and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night to perform True.

Spandau Ballet will tour Australia in May with support Nik Kershaw.

May 19, Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena
May 22, Perth, Perth Arena
