Tony Hadley Spandau Ballet
Spandau Ballet was co-founded as The Cut by Hadley, Gary Kemp, Steve Norman, John Keeble and Michael Ellison. They were all students at Dame Alice Owen’s Grammar School. Hadley was the lead singer of Spandau Ballet and went on to enjoy international success in the 1980s.
They released hits such as True, Gold, Through The Barricades and they also appeared at the Live Aid in 1985. In 1989, Spandau Ballet split. This was after their final studio album, Heart Like a Sky, failed to rise as it was critically and commercially expected as their earlier albums such as True and Parade. The studio album, Heart Like a Sky, was not released in the United States.
After disbanding, Hadley alongside his fellow band members, Steve Norman and John Keeble attempted to sue Gary Kemp stating that they had an agreement for Gary, the principal songwriter to pay them royalties. They lost the case. The band confirmed on March 25, 2009, that they had reformed and were embarking on a tour of the UK and Ireland in October of the same year.
Spandau Ballet New Singer
In 1991, the Spandau Ballet song, True, was sampled by the American Hip Hop Music Art P.M Dawn in their song “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” released in their first album Of The Heart, Of The Soul And Of The Cross: The Utopian Experience.
Tony was featured a cameo in the music video, Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, that achieved immediate commercial success. The single hit the week of November 30, 1991, and held the distinction of being the first song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart following the introduction of Nielsen SoundScan to the chart. It also reached number 3 in the United Kingdom.

In December 1996, Hadley embarked on a six weeks orchestral tour of Europe along with Joe Cocker, Paul Michiels, Dani Klein and Guo Yue. They played to 500,000 concert goers in the six weeks.
After Hadley returned from the UK tour, he signed a joint deal with PolyGram TV. In 1997, he released his next eponymous solo album, Tony Hadley. The album included covers and songs that were chosen to match his voice. In the album, he featured some of his self-penned songs such as, She, which he wrote for his daughter, Toni.
