Toxic pop reunions - can a big pay-cheque overcome the fact that the band-members hate each other's guts?

While Melanie Blake was a freelance journalist, a magazine assigned her to write about life on a 1980s reunion tour. "I went on the tour bus. It was absolutely hell," she tells the BBC - "Everybody hated each other. People wouldn't talk to each other, and then they'd be like, 'Hello Wembley!' and they'd sing their songs, and then they'd all come back and immediately get in different parts of the bus and wouldn't speak to each other". He wrote a novel about it', 'The Thunder Girls', used the money from the book to produce a theater show.
