80s singing legend from Spandau Ballet surprises UK fans
Tony Hadley, former lead singer of Spandau Ballet, announced that his Big Band Christmas Tour will return with a larger production, new swing arrangements, Christmas songs and a full brass section. He is scheduled to perform in Birmingham on November 19 and at the Sunshine Festival in Upton on August 30. Hadley also said he left Spandau Ballet in 2017 because he felt unable to continue, and is now focused on his solo career, a new big band album and worldwide touring.
