As the lead singer with Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley realised many ambitions. He saw the world, performed to a sizeable chunk of it -both in the live arena and via television and radio- and more importantly, staked his claim as one of popular music's greatest vocalists. Turning the page on Spandau Ballet, Tony has continued to stick to the same raw instincts that brought him early success. Always supremely confident and comfortable when performing, Tony has never stopped doing what he loves. The last few years have seen him not only delighting European audiences on a grand scale with his 1996 arena tour "Night of the Proms" which reached upwards of half a million people, but also enjoying the more intimate and challenging atmosphere of R&B type venues such as the Jazz Café and Ronnie Scotts.
In addition Tony has embraced other music genres; getting together with dance remixers Tin Tin Out, a collaboration which spawned the Top Forty hit single Dance with me, as well as the theme song Build me up for the successful football movie When Saturday Comes, starring Sean Bean. In 1998 Tony released his self-titled solo album. This marked his first world-wide release since Spandau Ballet. Through his own label Slipstream Records he recorded a collection of his favourite songs which included classic tracks such as Duran Duran's Save a Prayer, featuring Simon Le Bon on backing vocals, the Bee Gees' First of May, Tears For Fears Woman in Chains and four of Tony's own compositions including Dance With Me.
Unlike other established UK artists, Tony has already proven himself internationally. As the lead singer of Spandau Ballet, he has sold over 20 million records world-wide and reached No 1 spot in 21 countries with the single "True". With this achievement behind him he has continued to perform abroad as often as possible. Over the past year he has been playing with his band across Europe, Africa and South East Asia. Back home he has also found a new audience on the club scene.
