Tony Hadley was the voice of Spandau
Ballet. His huge voice matches his almost 2 metre frame and it has filled
concert halls and arenas throughout the World. Beloved of most of the Spandau
fans' mums Tony's matinee idol looks ensured him a big following. Tony
continues to tour and record.
John Keeble is a regular in his band during solo tours and and occasionally Steve Norman for revival tours of Spandau Ballet songs. Tony recently sang the theme tune for the BBC series "Down To Earth" and made his acting debut the final episode of that series. He is likely to hit the road with a big band for a "swing tour" some time soon.
