Little lamented chart-toppers Kajagoogoo have jumped on the comeback bandwagon by reuniting for a UK tour for the first time in 25 years. It follows the recently announced return of Spandau Ballet who buried the hatchet - after years of legal battles and recriminations - for a series of live dates.
The comedy-haired band's original line-up - which had a number one with debut single Too Shy in 1983 - have set ten dates for later this year. Kajagoogoo splintered after just a matter of months with bass player Nick Beggs stepping up to take over from singer Limahl.
Limahl said of the reunion: "It took us 25 years to grow up, basically."
A spokesman for the band said they were "armed with new songs". The tour starts in Liverpool on September 17 and culminates in Southampton a fortnight later.
But before you are tempted to buy a ticket, remind yourself how horrible it was the first time round ......

Surely enough is enough? what do you think ....?
