From stadium sell-outs to £25 brunch gigs: The bittersweet journey of Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp

MARTIN Kemp is flogging £25 tickets for a boozy brunch and 80s DJ set, in a career low for the Spandau Ballet star.

The I’m A Celebrity campmate, 64, recently stepped down from his radio job to focus on his live sets.

Plugging the boozy brunches, where he’s the DJ and fans get a two course meal, Martin shared a video of himself at an event with fans gathered around him while he danced.

The star, who shot fame in the 80s as the bass player in Spandau Ballet, wrote next the clip: “Gather your favourite people & join me for the ultimate daytime brunch.

“I’m bringing the 80s roaring back with iconic anthems, festive cheer, and a dance floor ready for memories.”

However, it has now been revealed the tickets can be snapped up for as low as £25 per person.

It is a far cry from his days filling stadiums with his iconic 80s band.

Meanwhile, Martin announced in March that he would be stepping down from his Greatest Hits Radio gig.

The star spent five years doing his weekend show, The Mix Tape.

But Martin has since been replaced by former Wheel of Fortune host, Jenny Powell, who took over the reins in April.

Speaking about his decision to leave his radio show, Martin said at the time: “I’ve had an incredible run on Greatest Hits Radio.

“But it’s time to let someone else share their Mix Tapes with the nation.

“I’ve got a busy year ahead with my Back to the 80s live shows, so now is the right time to step back.

“I know I’m leaving the listeners in safe hands with Jenny.”
