Tony Hadley MBE

Tony Hadley, London born and bred, thought his future lay in medicine until, as a young lad, he won a holiday singing competition. He went on to front 80s New Romantic band, Spandau Ballet, earning the accolade of becoming one of Pop music’s greatest vocalists. The band had numerous chart-topping singles and albums, including the epic, Through the Barricades, international number 1 single, True, and the unofficial London Olympics anthem, Gold. By the mid-80s, they were superstars but the band later split in 1990. Since then, Tony has carved out a successful solo career with his music featuring swing bands and orchestras.
