Tony Hadley Tour To Celebrate 40 Years Of Music
by Northern Life
Tony Hadley, the unmistakeable voice of Spandau Ballet, has announced a huge UK tour for 2022 to celebrate his remarkable 40 years in music. The tour, originally planned for 2020, features Tony, and his band The Fabulous TH Band, performing at 36 venues across the country through the spring of 2022 concluding at the Blackpool Opera House on Friday 27 May.
Tony’s voice still brims with passion and urgency as it first did all those years ago and he will perform tracks from across his career, both as the voice of Spandau Ballet and as a solo artist.
From his beginnings at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony earned himself the accolade of being one of pop’s great vocalists. Spandau Ballet had a string of massive singles and albums all over the world, including the epic Through the Barricades, the international number one True and, what became the unofficial London Olympics theme, Gold.
As a solo artist Tony has performed across the world both with his band, swing bands, and orchestras. In 2005 he was awarded a Gold Badge by the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters and in 2007 he won a new legion of fans when he appeared as Billy Flynn in Chicago on the West End stage.
In 2018 Tony released his solo album Talking To The Moon which was incredibly well received and became BBC Radio 2’s Album Of The Week while his single Tonight Belongs To Us was the Single Of The Week.
Last year Tony released the brand new single Obvious, co-written with Mick Lister (Talking To The Moon), which was also playlisted on BBC Radio 2.
Alongside his music career, Tony has worked in broadcasting on both radio and TV and received an MBE in the Queen’s 2019 New Year’s Honours List for his charitable work for the Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.
