Tony Hadley has quit Spandau Ballet. Reminds me of when Robbie left Take That. I hope Newsround has a helpline for distraught fans.

Anyway. We wish you good luck Tony, in whatever you choose to do next.

(Presumably some solo gigs, 80s nights and then make up with Spandau Ballet in a couple of years for another tour.)

Oh and here’s a bit of trivia for you if you’ve made it to the bottom. You see that “:-” in Tony’s tweet? It’s a slightly archaic bit of punctuation known as “the dog’s bollocks”

True.
