Winner of hit TV show Reborn in The USA, Tony Hadley will be coming to Salisbury City Hall on Wednesday 25th June 2003 to perform a night of hit songs.

Tony Hadley was the unmistakable voice of Spandau Ballet who bestrode the 80s pop charts with hit after classic hit such as 'True', 'Gold' and 'I'll Fly For You'.

During the 80s, Tony staked his claim as one of popular music's greatest vocalists. Spandau sold over 20 million records worldwide and reached No. 1 in 21 countries with 'True'.

Although Spandau Ballet split somewhat acrimoniously, Tony continues to tour and perform the songs which made him famous. Spandau drummer John Keeble and occasionally saxophonist Steve Norman are also members of his touring band.

He recently sang the theme tune for the BBC series "Down To Earth" and made his acting debut in the final episode of that series.

One of his greatest achievements came earlier this year when he won the celebrity reality TV show 'Reborn in the USA'.

The Hit ITV show saw 10 pop stars from yesteryear battle it out onstage in America.

They travelled around the USA in a tour bus and stopped off at a different city each week and performed in an intimate venue in front of a local crowd.

Proving popular with the American crowd ensured a spot on the bus to the next city, but each week, the two performers with the least number of votes were subjected to a head to head battle.

The outcome was then decided by the British public who got the opportunity to vote for their favourite performer over the next week.

Tony Hadley eventually won the contest which saw him beat former pop stars such as Gina G, Sonia and Peter Cox of Go West fame.

BBC Wiltshire recently spoke to Tony about the whole 'Reborn in the USA' experience, what fans can expect from the current tour and whether Spandau Ballet will ever reunite.
