Tony Hadley (born Anthony Patrick Hadley, 2 June 1960, Islington, London) is an English pop singer who fronted the 1980s Pop band Spandau Ballet. The group disbanded in 1989, after their final studio album, Heart Like a Sky, failed to live up to the critical and commercial success of their earlier albums, such as True and Parade.

Tony Hadley, former front man of 80’s band, Spandau Ballet brought Christmas to the Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday night and delivered a set list of classics made famous by the great names of easy listening such as Sammy Davies Jr, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and many more
Tony Hadley brought Christmas - and a whole lot of class - to the Royal Albert Hall in a show that felt like stepping back to the glitz and glamour of the Rat Pack era.
Tony Hadley, the former front man of the 80’s synth pop supergroup Spandau Ballet, was at the Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday night to deliver a laid back evening of timeless classics as part of his Big Swing Tour.
In 1979 five youngsters from Islington formed new wave band Spandau Ballet and went on to release seven studio albums, and win such awards as Q Award, a Brit and an Ivor Novello, making them one of the most successful bands around.
I will add for full disclosure that the primary push for me in attending this gig was to see the support. There is something delightful in seeing a band you like catch a break, and The Vanities fully deserve one, as their sound is one of the most interesting coming out of the Cardiff scene in recent times.
The power-dressing quintet with their brand of croony – sometimes dramatic often soppy – electronic music seem to perfectly encapsulate the notorious decade of excess.
