It's not Spandau Ballet without Tony Hadley

[@louismastrangelo3781]

Sadly, true

[@ronalansing8205]

@@louismastrangelo3781that’s gold!

[@AT-og4rf]

True

[@valeriauk8158]

Tony has the voice, the looks, the charisma and star power . He was what made the songs brilliant. I was reading his autobiography recently which was an eye opener about Gary kemp. Tony is doing just fine without them now, whereas they will never be the same without Tonys power velvet voice. I wouldn’t go to see them in concert, but I would definitely be there to watch gorgeous Tony.

Tony Hadley WAS Spandau ballet, They are nothing without him.

[@frankstared]

That is nonsense. They were a super tight outfit whose chops were admirable. They need to kick it!

[@j.schermer3523]

@@frankstared Definitely, they are nothing without Tony!

[@Tawadeb]

His voice is majestic

[@waynemorrison5204]

That's for sure

[@TONY_FEZ]

Martin's reaction at 2.12 ... he knows exactly what the reason was!!

[@andrewbanks3548]

Nothing without mr hadleys voice.

[@billhodden-rr9ck]

Tony is Spandau he carried them that's why there famous

[@orchidmalevolence9726]

Tony alone will never be Spandau Ballet. I said what I said.

[@rampageclover9788]

@@orchidmalevolence9726 yeah and those four dickheads with a different singer certainly will never be Spandau. I saw Tony at Forever Young and believe me, the absence of the others meant NOTHING….he tore the house down

[@emprabrea]

​@@orchidmalevolence9726but the band without Tony will never be Spandau Ballet

[@182britania]

You wont get better than Tony Hadley he is spandau ballet without him there is no spandau ballet.

[@CB-xr1eg]

The look on Martin Kemp's face when asked about the reason behind Tony's departure, says he knew exactly what the reason was, but he couldn't say it.

[@judefippard447]

Because his brother is the cause

[@emprabrea]

​@@judefippard447yup, Gary always considered himself the leader

[@massy6172]

No Tony, no Spandau. Please Tony, come back!

[@janiceshand1123]

The Kemps are liars they do know why Tony left the band. He hasn't said a lot but said it was the way they treated him. Tony has never needed the band but they need him. Tony is amazing live and his concerts are fantastic. We saw him on his 40th Tour with an Orchestra and it was superb and in March 24 he did his Swing Tour and that was also superb. We have seen him with SB and many times without and he still has a fantastic voice and the TH Band and Lily are fantastic to. ❤❤❤❤

[@j.schermer3523]

Watching this now make them look ridiculous. Only one who‘s sincere is Steve. The Kemps know they caused Tony‘s departure. I‘m glad Tony is doing pretty fine with his fab TH band!

[@cinziarosso5231]

You are absolutely right ❤

[@janiceshand1123]

Absolutely agree. We see Tony every time he tours and he definitely doesn't need them. He is still in touch with Steve Norman.

[@garystreet6756]

There is no Spandau Ballet without Tone.

[@Eric-steele]

I agree there are some vocalists that just can't be replaced Tony is definitely one. Form another band but don't call it Spandau Ballet. I suppose they could always call it The Kray brothers blues explosion.

[@Blackfive1945]

Gary Kemp knows quite well why Tony Left

[@j.schermer3523]

And so does Martin. His reaction to the question proves it.

[@ivdddoxiemama7275]

Of course they know. I don't believe it. They need to go ask apologize from Big Tone.

[@j.schermer3523]

@@ivdddoxiemama7275 I think you mean they need to apologize to Big Tone 😉

[@CLASSICALJAJ]

Fine - Gary created the songs . . . They were songs till Tony Hadley made them hits. It’s Tony who gives life to these songs on his tours and festivals. Oh - And didn’t two of those interviewed here were involved in the court action against Gary for a share of royalties ?? Without Tony Hadley, The Kemp brothers are actors, the others are sessional musicians.

[@MiamiGirl123]

Very true

[@starkslee6855]

I'm pretty sure that Martin would like to be involved in the court action if Gary weren't his brother.

[@frankthornton589]

Brilliant band lads thanks

[@CaseyTappy]

Hadley's voice left such a mark on the Spandau songs that you simply can't replace him , like INXS never worked without Hutchence .Lucky for them Hadley is still alive so the ball in in their court if they want to .

[@juliahawkins6529]

Spandau Balletis not complete without big Tone and they know it 😂

[@PhillipLearnTeach]

I think they play a different tune about Tony and not the truth

[@j.schermer3523]

Kemps never tell the truth.

[@zantelion1052]

Gary Kemp has always been jealous of Tony’s looks and voice, yes he wrote the songs and deserves credit for that but to always try upstage Tony and be jealous of his popularity has destroyed so much joy for the fans and missed songs we could have had!!

[@joanneyoung6292]

The guy at the end saying they want to get someone "better"??!!

[@francescodivita2509]

that was a joke, in fact he added better than me...

[@janiceshand1123]

They had a young guy but he didn't last long. Probably got sick of that vile Gary Kemp and his talentless brother who has had to resort to DJing 😂😂

[@princebuster93]

@@janiceshand1123😂😂😅 yes, he’s playing at being a DJ down on South Parade Pier, …. Desperado 😮😊

[@darenwilliams5858]

Can't stand John Keeble 'we'll get someone better !! ' Wouldn't have been hard to find a better drummer than him . Read in an an interview with Gary Kemp , that he though Keeble was bang avarage

[@mr.balloffur]

John Keeble was almost fired for being a bad drummer while he was in Spandau and in LA, when he was drumming on Tony's solo album, the producer wanted to get rid of him as well. If Tony hadn't fought for him, he wouldn't have had a job for decades. To say they're going to find somebody better with a real slap in the face especially from John.

[@emprabrea]

Damn this band sounds like it's full of nothing but two faced people

[@marianclough8577]

Seems to be some sour grapes here. Tony can't be replaced.

[@ivdddoxiemama7275]

No Big Tone?? Its not the same. I dont buy it. If I was them I'd try to figure something out. If they had issues then go fix them. Its not hard be adults and figure stuff out!! Big Tone doesn't seem like a bad guy. He was the lead singer.

[@j.schermer3523]

Tony is a very nice guy. He has his own fab TH band. They’re all very good musicians and lovely people as well. Tony will never go back to Spandau. He’s much happier now and he’s busier than ever. It’s their loss. Gary and Martin seem to be doing well, but Steve is struggeling to get some work. He’s the only one who really misses his friends from Spandau.

[@janiceshand1123]

We paid for the Meet & Greet 2 years ago with Tony. He is down to earth, funny and lovely. He even picked up my walking stick and told me he liked my top. A couple we were talking to, told us they were on a Jet2 flight to Italy and he was sat behind them. They chatted to him and he asked if they wanted tickets to his concert. ❤

[@ivdddoxiemama7275]

Wow thank you both for the share. I would love to meet Tony. Maybe someday!!😀💖

[@janiceshand1123]

Tony doesn't want to return to SB. He is touring all the time and has a fantastic band of his own. He still has a fantastic voice. He is currently touring and his tour is Swing which I don't usually like but I love Tony singing it.

[@airbornesoldier8104]

And who caused the dodgy moments , yes you the Kemp clan . Better off without the band Tony lad , your talent will never die .

[@soyabean-of9wz]

Sad this happens

[@dissyduster]

Tony is the main man.the drummer chap reckons they're going to get a better singer LOL LOL looks like he likes a drink.divvy bongo player just mings never was keen on the sax playing .kemp bros lol lol...

[@mr.disney4740]

Did the drummer just say they want to get someone better than Tony Hadley?😲

[@j.schermer3523]

Yep. As Tony once said; who needs enemies when you got friends like that. John Keeble was in Tony‘s solo band for many years. Would have been without work if it wasn‘t for Tony. Only nice guy on that couch is Steve Norman. Rest of them: 🤮

[@mr.disney4740]

@@j.schermer3523 wow..thats messed up ! Thanks for the information. Tony will always be the voice of spandau ballet .

[@marcy3127]

Martin Kemp is such a fox❤

[@j.schermer3523]

In this interview he comes across more like a 🐍 or a 🐀. Only one who is sincere is Steve.

[@RETRONuts]

I never was interested in Queen after Freddy died because not the same and if someone else singing the songs then its not the same, you need the same singer, no one can be someone else, unless they get someone that can mimic Tony's voice and anyway when they all get to old to do it, they be replaced by AI cause ABBA done it already with AI avatars holograms, I do not see the point of that too, not my cup of tea, you go to see them live to see them, not as 4 avatars, might as well watch it on a VR Headset... :)

[@pauljones9061]

They need eachother, they'll be back

[@j.schermer3523]

Tony doesn‘t need them. He has a great band of his own. He will never go back.

[@timothyturner1056]

If their were to be inducted into the 'RRHOF' Tony would have to reunite with 'Spandau Ballet' for that event .
