      Unfortunately not a one of these guys is left in the band!!!!! Spandau ballet is no longer spandau ballet!!!!! What a bunch of B. S.!!!!!!! Just another case of people not being able to get along with each other and everyone that was a fan of theirs has to suffer!!!!!! They were great!!!!!!!!

    I've recently listened again to Spandau (earliest was during my childhood in the 2000s, my Mom loved True so much). I have to say Tony deserves more spotlight!!! His vocal range is massive, clear & he has great control over it! He mentioned he has a good work ethic, so I was thinking he's very disciplined on taking care of his voice. Such a true artist. 🥰

    "Only When You Leave"
    Laying in the after glow,
    I only want to learn what you know,
    But now you're leaving...
    How many hearts must you break?
    How many calls must I make?
    But now you're leaving...
    In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable
    But love is in your touch
    Ooh, it's killing me so much
    Only when you leave
    I need to love you
    And when the action has all gone
    I'm just a little fool enough to need you
    Fool enough too long
    Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
    Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
    So give a little passion to a stranger
    And take this soul away
    I only want to make this things last,
    So how could this have gone so fast?
    And now you're leaving...
    How many times must I learn?
    It' s only when you've gone that I burn,
    And now you're leaving...
    In the end, all that I left has come unbearable
    It's hard to change your mind,
    So leave it all behind
    Only when you leave
    I need to love you
    And when the action has all gone
    I'm just a little fool enough to need you
    Fool enough too long
    Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
    Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
    So give a little passion to a stranger
    And take this soul away

    This was the greatest concert ever...Sorry Woodstock fans ☹️. Queen killed it...Their performance was legendary. Spandau Ballet sounded pretty good here too.
