RINGO


The Specials close to reforming
Bookmark and Share


It may be time to dust off the old zoot suit, Specials fans.

The British ska band are attempting to reunite after a 25 year hiatus, the New Musical Express reports.

The band's singer Terry Hall told BBC 6 Music, that a reunion is a definite possibility, but where and when is unknown.

"People keep offering us money all the time, and you try to and be polite but you have to say no matter how much money you've got that won't make us do it. We'll only do something if we feel its right. I mean this is the closest we've been in 25 years to maybe doing something but maybe not what's expected - I don't know."

Hall left The Specials in 1981 to form Fun Boy Three with fellow bandmates Lynval Golding and Neville Staples.

The Specials released a series of hits including "Message To Rudy," "Ghost Town" and "Rat Race."
