Tony Hadley has announced a big UK tour to celebrate 40 years in the music business.

The 61-year-old former Spandau Ballet star will head out on the road in 2022, to mark four decades since he first released music with his former band, which he quit in 2017 following their 2009 reunion.

Tony will perform with his The Fabulous TH Band, and will play 40 dates across the UK, beginning on March 1 in Bexhill and finishing at the London Palladium on October 25.

For the final four shows, Hadley will be accompanied by a live orchestra.

He will perform tracks from his career with Spandau Ballet and as a solo artist, including favourites 'True', 'Gold' and 'Through the Barricades'.

Tony Hadley quit Spandau Ballet in 2017, which led to the band temporarily replacing him with singer Ross William Wild, who has since also left the band.

His former bandmate Martin Kemp told Smooth Radio last year that he hoped Tony will return one day, but Tony also told us that it would be very unlikely to happen.
