Tony Hadley has announced a full nationwide tour performing hits of Spandau Ballet once again with a full orchestra. 

 

Pioneers of the 80s Romantic movement, Spandau Ballet formed in 1978 and had numerous chart topping singles and albums all over the world, some of the most memorable being the singles “Gold”, “Only When You Leave”, “Lifeline”, the epic “Through the Barricades” and of course the international number one “True”; the latter famously sampled by PM Dawn in 1991 and featured on Paul Anka’s Rock Swings in 2005.  

As lead singer of Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley has, over the years, earned the accolade of being one of pop music’s greatest vocalists.   As a solo artist in his own right who has spent the past twenty years entertaining audiences all over the world with his stunning rich voice that has lost none of its power. 

To date Tony has released four solo studio albums; ‘State of Play’ on EMI Records, two albums through Universal Records, a self-titled album in 1998, and ‘True Ballads’ in 2003. In 2006, on his own label, Slipstream Records, he released his long-awaited swing album ‘Passing Strangers’.  

2012 was also a big year for Tony with highlights including performing in front of The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge in the “Our Greatest Team Rises", he performed at Team GB House for both our Olympic and Paralympic athletes on the Closing Ceremony nights with “Gold” becoming the unofficial Athletes song and also had successful solo shows in Japan, the first since his Spandau Ballet days. 

Tony’s 2014 diary is currently filling up as his popularity increases both nationally and internationally. March will see Tony head to SXSW Film Festival in Austin Texas for the World Premiere of Spandau Ballet movie 'Soul Boys of the Western World'.  Right now he is busy writing and recording for his new album due out this summer. Not only that, Tony presents a weekly radio show on Saturday night on Absolute 80s.
