Tony Hadley has called on his former Spandau Ballet bandmates to be “honest” about their split. 

The singer quit the Gold group in 2015 and, in his new book ‘My Life In Pictures’, looks back on his time in the chart-topping unit.

Reflecting on the demise of the band, he says: “I thanked the boys in the book. I have nothing to do with Spandau at all now,” 

“I wish they would be honest and someone would ask them, ‘Why did your lead singer leave the band?’ It’s not just, as they said in the past, ‘He didn’t want to do it any more’,” adds Tony (via The Sun)

“That’s a lie. There’s a lot more to it. There’s no going back from that, which is sad for them, the fans and there’s a bit of sadness for me too.

“We had some brilliant times but something happened. It’s not my place to say, it’s for them to say and they have to be honest.”

According to the publication, a Spandau Ballet spokesperson refused to comment.

‘Tony Hadley: My Life In Pictures’ is available now.
