Terry Hall, frontman for the English ska-punk band the Specials, has died. He was 63.
The band’s albums were landmarks of the interracial ‘2-tone’ scene that that swept England and beyond in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, alongside peers such as the English Beat, Madness and the Selecter.“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, following a brief illness, of Terry, our beautiful friend, brother and one of the most brilliant singers, songwriters and lyricists this country has ever produced.
“He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him and leaves behind the gift of his remarkable music and profound humanity.”
