Here’s another extract from Screw It, I’ll Take The Elevator
To cut a long story short, Steve tweeted me a few months ago to say how much he enjoyed Stairs For Breakfast and he is full of praise for me. However I think he was disappointed that Spandau Ballet aren’t mentioned in my first book, whilst their ‘arch rivals’ Duran Duran are!
There is no question, Spandau Ballet are one of the biggest pop groups of the 1980s. I was a thirteen- year-old schoolboy when ‘Through The Barricades’ was in the charts. I remember hearing a small cluster of twenty-something-year-old teaching assistants chatting about Spandau Ballet, and which band member they fancied the most. I’m sorry Steve, I don’t recall hearing your name.
Without a doubt ‘True’ is one of the greatest ballads of all-time. When I hear the saxophone in the song, I think of you Steve.
You seem like a great human being with a heart of GOLD. It was fun having lunch with you recently. I like people who I can have a laugh with, and you are one of them!
