I met Tony in the 80s . I am a joiner and went to look at a job in his house . He and his wife were nice and normal…

Can vouch that this bloke is proper down to earth and sound no ego whatsoever. Good to see him looking well

Me neither, but if I stick True on, I'm instantly transported back to 1983, specifically to an amusement arcade I used to hang out in which would have the radio on.

Very unique singing voice, qualified singer, a pure talent...... so very chuffed for the influence of relatives putting me in his direction 🎵🎶🎼

The band were in Maestro's in Glasgow a few days, or maybe the night that they reached number one with "True". Except Tony Hadley, who, we were told, was back in the hotel, "taking care of his voice". So he ain't lying on that count. Must have took a lot of willpower that. He missed a great "stay behind". The manager of the club was on holiday and his assistant was, shall we say, a bit more lax about things. The other band members were all sound, paid for their drinks, didn't act like prima donnas, no minders or nothing like that. Good luck to them.

"Through the barricades " is just breathtakingly beautiful...my favourite Tony is a superb vocalist... Spandau had some amazing hits ...

No, it says his massive live aid regret - it doesn't technically say it was a mistake doing live aid. He said the mistake was not doing 'Gold', which he says as the last sentence. EDIT: I've now seen a different thumbnail, and it does have a different statement on it, which is misleading.

Was not a fan of Spandau Ballet back then, but, they kicked arse. However, anyone who wasn't Queen had no chance at Live Aid, they just wandered onto the stage and stole the show. Don't get me wrong most of the acts kicked arse but Queen just owned that day.😉

Yeah, he was right about the ‘Mario Lanza’ voice in the early days. Very Bowie mid seventies onwards . Chant no.1 being a prime example….. to be honest, we (my friends and I) used to laugh at his vocal on that tune (sorry Tony 😄). However, a great band / great times in retrospect.

In Spandau it was always Gary who determined everything. That continued after the reunion in 2009.

Morrissey really is not a good advert for a meat free diet. I have more energy now I've re-incorporated fish and a little bit of white meat into my diet. I make sure that it's good quality.
