Spandau Ballet to reveal Tony Hadley replacement
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 31 May 2018
Spandau Ballet have replaced Tony Hadley with an Elvis impersonator. Well, sort of. He played Elvis in stage musical ‘The Million Dollar Quartet’. He’s done a lot of theatre work actually, and I don’t think it’s fair that you would belittle that in order to make a cheap gag.
The band have announced that they will play their first show with an unnamed new singer at Subterania in London on 6 Jun. Although the band are keeping quiet about the replacement for now, The Mirror reckons the new frontman is Ross William Wild, who starred alongside the group’s Martin Kemp in ‘The Million Dollar Quartet’.
“Ross has a fantastic voice and got on well with Martin, so it hasn’t taken him long to get welcomed into the fold – they all think he’s great”, a source tells the newspaper. “He’ll join them on live dates later this year, and there is new music. They’re hoping Ross will help them win over new fans as well as being a welcome addition to their fanbase”.
Hadley split from Spandau Ballet again somewhat acrimoniously last year and, despite Shane Richie’s best efforts, a reconciliation has not been possible.
