  • The new-wave band originally split in 1987 but reunited from 2009-2015, when Hadley quit, citing reasons beyond his control.
  • The former frontman said differences between himself and Kemp could not be resolved, saying: “There’s always two in a band that have a fallout and that was a very hard meeting between the two of us.”
