Bad news Spandau Ballet fans.

Tony Hadley has vowed never to reunite with his former bandmates as he’d “rather be happy on my own than be in that band again”.

The sibling duo poked fun at their past as ’80s icons and disputes with Tony, who quit the band for a second time in 2017, in their new BBC mockumentary The Kemps: All True – which aired on Sunday night.

While the show, which featured Gary’s character creating a painting of the Gold hitmaker with devil horns, was a hit with fans, it was the last straw for Tony, who told The Sun he was not asked to appear and would have refused to take part if he had been.

“I wasn’t approached and would not have anything to do with it,” he shared.

“I’m done. They want me back for good but it ain’t going to happen. I’d rather be happy on my own than be in that band again.”

After Tony left in 2017, the group continued briefly with replacement Ross William Wild, but called it quits last year after admitting the new line-up wasn’t working out.

“If they want another lead singer, that’s their choice,” Tony added. “But if you want to hear those songs sung by the original singer then you can only really see one bloke – and that’s me.”

The singer, who recently released new solo single Obvious, also hit out at Gary and Martin for licensing their hit Gold for use in an advert promoting Bold washing powder.

“It’s embarrassing,” he admitted, referring to the commercial which changed its lyrics to the brand name.

“I posted a social media disclaimer saying, ‘This was nothing to do with me’. Gary wrote Gold. It’s anthemic. When I sing it live, the audience sing back. To change the title is just weird. I thought it was in bad taste.”

Tony’s comments come after Gary recently confessed he’d love to reunite with his former bandmate.
