Visit The 80s Empire

This one comes from October, 1982. I have vague memories of meeting Tony in Islington where he and the other members of Spandau Ballet lived in those days. For some reason, he was wearing horse-riding gear. I have a feeling I did an interview with him about his hobby (riding horses) but I seem to have lost that interview... sob! However, I did managed to find this fact file which I did at the same time.

Name: Antony Patrick Hadley
Date of Birth: 2nd June 1960
Family: Mum and dad, sister Leigh, brother Stephen.
What did you have for breakfast? I don't normally eat breakfast but today I did have a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits.
What did you dream last night? I was so shattered from playing football the day before that I didn't dream anything.
What's the silliest fan letter you've ever had? Some people have written me some funny poems. Sometimes they are quite romantic but one or two of them have been a bit rude!
If you could have one luxury, what would you choose? A case full of twenty pound notes - up to about a million pounds.
Have you ever been in hospital? Yes. I had a disease of the bone marrow about twelve years ago. I was in for about two months and when I finally came out I had to go about on crutches.
Any gory details? They had to drill into my bones and draw fluid off. I also had to have jabs up my backside - which was not very nice.
Phobias? Beetles. I hate them.
What's the silliest item of clothing you've ever worn? I went to a toga party once wearing hobnailed boots, a crash helmet and a sheet.
If you could be any fictional character, which would you choose? Harrison Ford in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.
If you had one day to love, how would you spend it? Miserably.
Who would you like to be marooned on a desert island with? Max Bygraves.


Twenty years before he was reborn in the USA, Tony Hadley was dreaming of untold wealth and Max Bygraves!
