@@paulsharp2565 he is. When we met him in Liverpool he was really funny. A couple we were talking to said he was sat behind them on a Jet2 flight to Italy. When she saw him sat behind she was shocked and he was so down to earth. He offered to get them tickets to the show but they were going to see someone else.

​@@janiceshand1123Haha. How could anyone refuse Tony Hadley!?

@@paulsharp2565 apparently they could because it was a band they had liked for many years. They liked Tony to.

He is the voice of SB,they tried to carry on without him and that backfired on them,he carries on without them and that makes them mad.

What is a courageous Conservative?

Lucky you! I bet it was amazing!

@@celebritydrop thank you for interview Tony! It was so interesting

Our pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Kelley.

Wait till you see Rod Stewart! Listen to his version of "Knockin' on Heavens Door". Sings it like he really means it.

Love it!!

@ rozzy, God bless your marriage, it’s sacred ❤️🙏🌸🌷

Did you force him to do all of the hoovering, cleaning and washing up as penance afterwards? Married! 😀

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes agree

Good interview

Martin even wrote about it in his latest book, so it must be true. I’m glad Tony is doing pretty fine on his own.

Thank you for watching Ben and for the lovely comments.

Thank you for the great comment. Tony is just Gold!

Are you able to say more? I presume not.

Come on!!! Who???😂

Martin hasn‘t been very nice to Tony either. Steve and Tony are on friendly terms again. I don‘t think Steve had much knowledge of what went on between Tony and the Kemps.

Couldn't agree more!

Oh Tony, he is still very handsome, and such an icon of the 80s, he's still got it 💘💘💘💋💋💋

Thank you for the comment MazzzZotti.

Martin Kemp is a hypocrite

@@j.schermer3523 what did he say/do?

@@littlecatfeet9064 After Tony left the band Martin took every opportunity to be nasty about Tony. A while ago Martin had a book out in which he writes how Tony always had been the victim of the bullying within the band. Martin said in an interview that he was ashamed now about his behaviour as a young man, but he should be more ashamed of his behaviour in the past six years. Without Tony Martin wouldn’t have had a career at all. Martin also said how he would always love Tony like his brother, but he doesn’t give a s..t about him. He only says it so people think he’s a nice man. At least his brother Gary is honest about never being friends with Tony.

@@j.schermer3523 that’s sad 😔. Thanks for enlightening me. Well, Tony’s got the voice and seems to be enjoying himself with his own band now. Glad he’s out of SB at least.

So True!! Once you've heard the best why would you want to settle for less?!

True 😀 like his sing

I absolutely adore Tony and I have seen him with SB many times. I have always said Tony doesn't need the band but he doesn't need them. We saw Tony twice in 2022 in his 40th Anniversary Tour. We saw him in Liverpool where we paid for the Meet & Greet and we saw him a few months later in Manchester where he performed with an Orchestra which was spectacular. Tony's band are fantastic and Lily has an amazing voice. We see Tony every time he tours and we are seeing him in March 24. I love winding the SB fans up. Gary Kemp has actually liked my posts about how fab Tony is. 👌

So trueee Funny how it seemssss🫦🫦🫦

“No matter who wrote the songs” ? Do you think you’d know about Tony Hadley at all without Gary Kemps’s hit songs. Respect where it’s due

Because Gary Kemp was greedy.

The Kemps = greedy selfish wankers.

You obviously have excellent music taste @BusterCapInYoAss!

Tony Hadley and Peter Cox of Go West are also great mates off stage too. They both have great soulful voices. They each appeared in the reality show 'Reborn In The USA', which Tony ended up winning, whereas Peter replaced former 'Then Jericho' frontman Mark Shaw at short notice, when he quit the show after just one week.

And fantastic comment Paul!

Just like Journey, Eagles, it is what it is..allebest Tony!

@@OldLien1 Gary Kemp wrote all the SB songs, so I don't think that's quite fair.

@@askoholli9306It‘s his biggest frustration though that on stage he was seen as just Tony‘s backing band.

Great shout!

Great idea, mate! I'd certainly watch that interview and no doubt many others would, too.

How cool @don.delivercars7781

John should have stayed in Tony’s band. It was his own decision to leave the TH band in 2012. Otherwise he would still have a job. Steve is the real victim of the break up. I feel really sorry for him.

@@j.schermer3523 yes that's his own fault..agree

@@j.schermer3523 yes Steve is a very kind man, i talked with him on Twitter in DM. I agree with you about John Keeble yes. Steve was/ is the only SB member that accepted my friend request 😉

@@j.schermer3523 what do you think of Martin Kemp playing DJj these day's?

@@bklarenbeek8570 he's just jumping up and down on a stage and pressing some buttons. That's not a DJ. He's trying to stay relevant at any cost. Now he has written a novel... Or had some ghost writers written a novel and put his own name on the cover.

Where does he say that he is Spandau Ballet?

@j.schermer3523 sorry you aren't looking across the interviews as I am there are 9 altogether before this one

@@broadcast-east Still, he never said he IS Spandau Ballet. Yes, he sings the songs. But if there‘s one person who‘s allowed to sing them, then it‘s him.

@@j.schermer3523 His claim actually was that he deserved royalties as co creator of the material. The courts disagreed.

@@broadcast-east Tony, Steve and John claimed that because Gary had promised them to share royalties. He actually did that for a few years until it became really lucrative. He then all of a sudden (Tony, Steve and John hadn‘t been informed about this) stopped paying them. Legally the judge was right, but breaking a promise to your friends isn‘t a very kind thing to do, especially not when those friends helped you becoming the rich man you are with their talents. Steve got a nervous breakdown after all this and is still struggeling to keep his head above the water financially. That‘s why Tony today always says: be sure to get a legal contract when you start a band.

Without Tony we never would have heard from Spandau. And yes, he is thankful. He mentions the band at almost all of his shows. It‘s about time the Spandau boys are going to show Tony some gratitude, instead of being negative about him (Gary in specific is very good at that). Without Tony as the frontman the band wouldn‘t have left the school rooms.

@@j.schermer3523 With all due respect thats ridiculous! The songs made Spandau not Hadley.Any decent singer would have sang those songs and they would have been hits.Even guys who couldnt sing half as good as Tony in those days had massive hits. For me the brothers did nothing to Hadley.He felt entitled.The hits dried up,the money was gone and he suddenly feels he should be having some of that dosh coming in quarterly for Gary.No you shouldnt be.You didnt write those songs!

@@HarriBestReactions it‘s not about the royalties anymore. It‘s about not showing respect to someone. You probably missed the news that came out a couple of months ago? Martin admitted that Tony always had been bulied by the others when he was in the band. After Tony had left the band, the Kemps continued with the bullying on a higher level. And as for the singing; how many of Gary‘s solo songs do you know? Same songwriter, different voice. Tony‘s voice isn‘t ‚just a voice‘. Go read the comments to Spandau videos and see for yourself how many comments are about Tony‘s voice.

@@j.schermer3523 If they did bully him,thats out of order.But we know for a fact that most band members get jealous of the lead singer cis he gets all the attention.So maybe that has something to do with that. But make no mistake about it,this is not about the bullying..Its MONEY! How come they didnt fall out earlier then? How come it all came crashing when the money thing arose? You asked how many Gary songs do i know.You missed the point there.Their time was gone.How many bands of their time was having hits 10-20 yrs later? Their time was gone..Plus Gary is not a singer anyway. Now how many hits has golden voice Hadley gone on to have if his voice is so magical? Of cos the fans are gonna say his voice was the band and IT WAS.But it could easily have been any decent singer.He wasnt a guy like Freddie Mercury who started a whole moment an inspired a generation.I give him flowers,but the band woukd still have made it without him

@@HarriBestReactions You don‘t know much about the history of the band, do you? Btw, Gary sees himself as a singer, you probably missed that too. And again; it‘s not about the money. The band fell apart when the Kemps started a film career in 1990. The court case about the royalties was in 1999. They reunited in 2009, but Tony left in 2017 because he had enough of Kemps behaviour. Since then he‘s very busy playing all over the world, singing Spandau songs, covers from other artists and more and more songs he has written himself.

Yep, and Martin Kemp was one of them. Funny how everyone thinks he’s a lovely bloke🙄🤣

@@NH-bz9jvHe‘s a bully

Yep, bit of a stretch, but seems a nice man. Great singer, that’s for sure!

Great personality. End of.

Well, it wasn’t. And it still isn’t. One of the best voices that came out of the 80s!

@@j.schermer3523I’m with you. Tony Hadley had in his SB days, and still has a great voice. Rich, emotive, tuneful, great pitch. Love him.
