Anthony Patrick Hadley MBE is an English pop singer. He rose to fame in the 1980s as the lead singer of the new wave band Spandau Ballet and launched a solo career following the group’s split in 1990. Hadley returned to the band in 2009 but left again in 2017. Hadley is known for his “expressive voice” and “vocal range”. On 18 February 2022, Hadley released his first solo single in over two years, “Because of You”, an up-tempo number that marks a distinct change in his sound from previous solo material. During March and May 2022, Hadley will embark on a 40-date tour of the United Kingdom to celebrate his 40th Anniversary in the music business. The tour was scheduled for 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The set includes a number of Spandau Ballet’s big hits, a series of carefully selected covers, as well as several new tracks from Hadley’s upcoming seventh solo album, including “Because of You”, “Obvious” and the yet-to-be released “Mad About You”. The tour concluded with four special additional dates in October 2022, which saw Hadley backed by a full orchestra.
