Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp - True Confessions

Gary Kemp, whose career highlights as a musician and actor include writing Spandau Ballet's seminal hit "True," tells us about about the time David Bowie almost made Gary's son late for a playdate; going on a bender with Duran Duran the night before the 1984 Band Aid recording session: and why he and his old mate, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, charted different musical paths even though they were fans of the same bands. In this short VIDEO, Gary muses on why Joe Elliott didn't laugh when they watched This Is Spinal Tap together. Might it have hit a little too close to home???
