@kenshiro73 @vinylrecords aw mate, I feel you. I've been upset by superb musicians dying before, Bowie, Prince, Lou Reed, but I grew up listening to Terry and it feels almost... Personal!.
Lets just hope wherever he's gone he's still Terry and going to have a good time!
Gone, Much Too Young
One of the fist singles I ever bought! Never caught them live until the 30th Anniversary tour but saw them many times since. They blew me away live!
Such a sad loss!
Gone Much Too Young!

TwitterDanny Kelly on Twitter“💔 #RIP Terry Hall. The Specials were a critical UK cultural landmark, Ghost Town a work of art. And Terry loved football/Man Utd. When I interviewed him (Colourfield era) we snuck into his beloved Old Trafford and did the chat on the pitch. And yes, Terry smiled.”
My brother says it much better than I can. #RIPTerryHall

@InstituteJerry That one is still fresh. The second one is awesome too, in a totally different way #ripterryhall
Very terrible sad news. 
Terry Hall is dead.
The Specials singer passed away yesterday after a short, serious illness.
Rest in peace legend
#TerryHall sang on the best second-wave ska album of all time, the Specials' debut. Then he moved to experimental new wave group Fun Boy Three, then into underrated jangle sophistopop group The Colourfield. #RIPTerryHall #TheSpecials #Specials #FunBoyThree #ColourField #TheColourfield
