I can honestly say, I’ve had one of the greatest Tony Hadley experiences you could ever ask for.  I was fortunate enough to interview the former front man for 80s music gods Spandau Ballet as well as seeing his first solo show ever in the United States!  When I spoke with Tony in person, he told me that the band had just finished rehearsing “Chant No. 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On)” because he’d been interviewed earlier in the week and it was requested.  I got to tell him, and I’ll never be sick of saying this –  that was the interview we did together.  He was SO cool!  And he played the song for the adoring crowd later in the evening!  He’s definitely a man of his word, which makes me so happy.  All I can say is a million thank yous to Tony Hadley for the great music – past, present and future as well as for giving me memories that will never be forgotten!
