Tony has the voice, the looks, the charisma and star power . He was what made the songs brilliant. I was reading his autobiography recently which was an eye opener about Gary kemp. Tony is doing just fine without them now, whereas they will never be the same without Tonys power velvet voice. I wouldn’t go to see them in concert, but I would definitely be there to watch gorgeous Tony.

Hadley's voice left such a mark on the Spandau songs that you simply can't replace him , like INXS never worked without Hutchence .Lucky for them Hadley is still alive so the ball in in their court if they want to .

Hadley is the sound of Spandau ballet even if he didn't write the songs same as fergal Sharkey was the sound of the undertones, couldn't imagine Duran Duran without Simon le bon.

@MrBUSTER1966 7 күн бұрын

A voice like Hadley`s only comes round every few decades or so, it cannot be explained or replicated. It makes the hairs on the back of your neck tingle. You can't teach that and you certainly cannot better it.

The Kemps are liars they do know why Tony left the band. He hasn't said a lot but said it was the way they treated him. Tony has never needed the band but they need him. Tony is amazing live and his concerts are fantastic. We saw him on his 40th Tour with an Orchestra and it was superb and in March 24 he did his Swing Tour and that was also superb. We have seen him with SB and many times without and he still has a fantastic voice and the TH Band and Lily are fantastic to. ❤❤❤❤

Tony is a lovely genuine man and when we met him in Liverpool he was a gentleman and he has a lovely personality. It's sour grapes with the Kemps because they tried to continue to be SB but without Tony they have no chance. I have booked tickets today to see him in Manchester in December at the new arena Co-op live. He's touring with Culture Club but we are mainly going to see the big Tone. He was amazing last March on his Swing Tour. I have never been in to Swing music but Tony changed that.

Fine - Gary created the songs . . . They were songs till Tony Hadley made them hits. It’s Tony who gives life to these songs on his tours and festivals. Oh - And didn’t two of those interviewed here were involved in the court action against Gary for a share of royalties ??

@mr.balloffur 10 ай бұрын

John Keeble was almost fired for being a bad drummer while he was in Spandau and in LA, when he was drumming on Tony's solo album, the producer wanted to get rid of him as well. If Tony hadn't fought for him, he wouldn't have had a job for decades. To say they're going to find somebody better with a real slap in the face especially from John.

Tony is a very nice guy. He has his own fab TH band. They’re all very good musicians and lovely people as well. Tony will never go back to Spandau. He’s much happier now and he’s busier than ever. It’s their loss. Gary and Martin seem to be doing well, but Steve is struggeling to get some work. He’s the only one who really misses his friends from Spandau.
