Saw them on the 2 Tone Tour in 1979 supported by Madness and Selecter. First night at Newcastle on the 30th Anniversary Tour was emotional and fantastic, then Edinburgh and Glasgow shows too.

A sad day for people who grew up with The Specials..

Never saw them first time round but got to see them at the Manchester Apollo in 2011 and they were everything i hoped live.... were brilliant

RIP Terry

Pancreatic cancer. So many people now seem to be dying shortly after a cancer diagnosis.
