TRUE BLUE BOWS OUT
Devastasting news about Tony Hadley quitting Spandau Ballet so soon after their last hit, Through The Barricades in 1986. Some say it’s probably a moment of rebellious youthful impulse from the 57-year-old and he’ll soon be back with the band wowing their hordes of devoted groupies that travel the world to watch them. On cruise ships. Others like me believe young Tony has suffered a couple of recent humiliations which make him just want to hide away. First the man described as “The Tories’ biggest celebrity backer” saw his party become as popular with music festivalgoers as body lice.
And then he saw Richard Branson use Spandau’s True to spin lies about how great his trains are.
If that happened to me, to cut a long story short, I’d lose my mind.
