The Specials Return In 2009
The Specials are jumping on the reunion bandwagon. The veteran ska band is planning to get back together for their 30th anniversary, beginning with shows in Europe next April. Singer Terry Hall tells NME.com, quote, "It's the right time to do it. We talked about it at 25 but we weren't together enough. Now we're all getting on and it feels comfortable again." The lineup will include Hall, Neville Staple, Sir Horace Gentleman, Roddy Radiation, Lynval Golding, and John Bradbury. At present, founding member Jerry Dammers is not taking part, but Hall says that relations with the musician are still strong.
