Terry Hall, so sad, only 63. 

I remember when linval came out to join Terry on stage  with the Dub pistols at guilfest. And it was clear that the reunion would happen soon.

Absolutely gutted about Terry, rare for me to love pretty much all the different musical projects of an artist, but certainly did with him.  There was talks about him doing some shows playing some of his solo stuff, which would have been amazing.  Lucky enough to have seen him a few times with The Specials, and once solo many moons ago.  What a talent, he will be missed.

RIP Terry - The Specials were probably the only band that all of my best mates loved. One of the best memories of my life was going to see them in 2011 at Cheltenham racecourse with literally all of my mates - what a night!

Also saw him a few times at Old Trafford when I used to watch United.

Yes, he ranks alongside John Logic Baird, Alexander Graham Bell, John McAdam, Alexander Fleming and James Watt as one of the greatest Scottish inventors.
