The Specials singer Terry Hall dies aged 63: British ska band frontman who enjoyed fame with hits Ghost Town and Too Much Too Young passes away after a ‘brief illness’
The Specials singer Terry Hall has died aged 63.
The band paid tribute to lead singer Terry Hall in a statement released on social media following his death at the age of 63.
The statement said: ‘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.
‘Terry was a wonderful husband and father and one of the kindest, funniest, and most genuine of souls. His music and his performances encapsulated the very essence of life… the joy, the pain, the humour, the fight for justice, but mostly the love.
‘He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him and leaves behind the gift of his remarkable music and profound humanity.
Terry often left the stage at the end of The Specials’ life-affirming shows with three words…’Love Love Love’.
‘We would ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy at this very sad time.’
