Did you know that Spandau Ballet is still around and performing? I did not know that until Go West’s Richard Drummie (who still just as sexy!)Tweeted that the lead singer announced that he was leaving the band.
Tony Hadley released this statement about his departure, “Due to circumstances beyond my control, it is with deep regret that I am required to state that I am no longer a member of the band Spandau Ballet and as such I will not be performing with the band in the future.” You can tell this was not an amicable split from his cryptic message.
Something that seems to have been confirmed by the band’s statement, “Much to our frustration, Tony had made it clear in September 2016 that he didn’t want to work with the band anymore. This has not changed and 2015 was the last time we were able to perform or work with him. So we have now made the decision to move on as a band.”
A decision I think will be costly for them. No offense to the Kemp brothers, but Spandau Ballet is all about Hadley’s GOLDen voice. Not that many bands can survive losing their lead singer and I doubt this one will make it. Then again, did we know they reunited two years ago?
And with that, I am going to have True stuck in my head all day long. On that note, I ask you which side do you think is being true with their statement?
