Sad news this morning, loved the Specials in my youth, and was fortunate to see them at the Glastonbury Extravanganza in 2019 in the grounds of the abbey. They were amazing!

Great music with a great message. RIP Terry

Really sad. He was only 63.
Ghost Town is an absolute work of genius.
He had an unbelievably awful childhood (he was kidnapped by a paedophile ring when he was 12)

RIP Terry Hall, one of the finest song writers.
