The Specials Announce UK Tour Dates

Ska/ 2/Tone legends The Specials have announced a UK tour kicking off in October. These will be the band’s first shows since the death of drummer John (Brad) Bradbury. Vocalist Terry Hall had this to say about the tour and Brad’s passing:

“We started working on these dates last October. Everyone was really looking forward to them & then just after Christmas Brad passed away. It was devastating but in our heart of hearts we know he would want us to continue with the plan he helped to put together”
