Back in the day the BBC were never fans of The Specials or what they stood for. They banned Too Much Too Young from the radio and instead played Guns of Navarone, banned the Rat Race video as Jerry was dressed as a female music teacher and banned Stereotype from airplay as they didn't like the topic of the song. On TOTP chart rundown Stereotype was erased completely and only mentioned as International Jet Set. Hate the BBC. Love Terry, R.I.P. you Legend.

A British music icon, will be so sadly missed 😢

I'm 62 years old. I liked the Specials when they burst onto the scene in 1979. I'm a fan of the British Ska music revival. Other groups i liked were Bad Manners, Selecter, the Beat, but the Specials with Terry Hall fronting the group were my number 1. 🙏 RIP Terry

Terry was one of the most important British songwriters.

A terrible death. He apparently only found out back in September something was wrong. He initially thought it was a tummy bug. Who wouldn't. Then he suddenly went into hospital. They did tests and he found out he had cancer AND diabetes. Soon he was dead. He had a full diary for next year and a new album planned. So sad and unfair. I have been a fan since I was 17 in 1979. His death was an utter shock. RIP.

Gone too soon. A legend

Rest in Peace Legend

I still have all of my Specials, Fun boy three, and colourfield albums. And now my kids are fans. Thank you Terry.

Thanks Terry for you're music over the years RIP

absolute legend. rip

This was so lovely. Thank you so much for honoring Terry Hall. We wouldn’t do something like this in the States. BBC always a class. I am humbly grateful. Shine on sweet Terry 🕊

R.I.P Terry Hall. One of my all time favourite musical hero's ever growing up with the specials and fun boy three

Terry You passed from an illness that is underfunded and misunderstood . I have lost many friends from Pancreatic Cancer . I had my pancreas removed in 2017 . I was one of the lucky ones . Prof Sutton of Liverpool is a brilliant surgeon . Thank you for being a huge part of me growing up . R.I.P.

A true legend, too young to go!

I was so shocked when I heard. RIP Terry you will be missed very much.

I tell you what this guy was my idol I love Terry Hall when I first saw the video of message to you Rudy he was the first one that I saw on the video of course sing it with the other two guys since that video it changed my life on how I loved British ska Terry you will always be the specials it wouldn't be 2 tone without you and you are the face of 2 tone I'm very sad this happened when I first heard the news you guys suppose to be in the rock and roll HOF.

I was a big, big fan of the Specials and I'm so glad I saw them in Adelaide a few years ago. Such sad news. Please rest in peace Terry you deserve to.

Tragic news my hero in the 80s growing up

Absolutely gutted. I'm 42 now and remember being hearing my older brother playing the specials and the cure in his bedroom when I was nine years old. Never looked back, listened to them both constantly for years and still listen to them in 2022

I feel really sad about his passing. A very talented and really nice guy who overcame appalling trauma, and really made it!! Peace be with you Terry. Xxxxx

My condolences, from Brazil.

A top singer, song writer, and a unique iconic front man. Irreplaceable.

Terry was an amazing guy, I loved him dueting with sinead o Connor, they sang all kinds of everything, just amazing, so sad that they are both gone now 😢

Terry was special I was lucky enough to see him & great band 1979 at malvern great memories RIP TERRY

Love Terry Hall. Hate the BBC

RIP Terry Hall ❤

Terry Hall was really important

A man of the people great songs faced the issues when others wouldnt

Still can't believe it

very nice tribute. ty 💪🙏✌️

An absolute talent..a lovely guy..R.I.P. Terry!

Such a huge influence on my musical youth was Terry Hall. I sang in a high school band, The Abstracked, here in good Ol’ Minneapolis, Minnesota. We were a punky/ska outfit with an amazing saxophone player. Juan still has the same Shure SM-57 now 40 years later. The Specials, The Clash, The Beat were my bands. (Modern Lovers, too.) Spring Break of freshman year, on family vacation, I had two cassettes I almost wore through in two weeks. One had Combat Rock and Special Beat Service, as friends thought both albums strayed too far from previous offerings but I found them brilliant. The other was The Specials and Joe Jackson’s Jumpin’ Jive because I loved both Terry and Joe’s unique and distinctive voices. I had my trusty Walkman and had just discovered weed and packed a bit with me to Florida. About the best two weeks of my youth, lol. Thank you for posting this tribute! 🙏🏽✌🏽💙 from Minnesota, USA

Terry Hall 🙏✝️

They will live on for ever timeless thank you so much respect and love 🦾🇬🇧👍🎄

Miss you Brother but the music lives on God Bless You Terry

This one hit especially hard I’m still speechless.

Ghost time. 😂 geez

At least you can comment on here

R I p cool 1

R.I.P. Terry

Ghost Town (not Ghost Time the narrator says at first) !

😢😢😢🕊

The death of Terry is almost a SHOCK!!!!!!! Terrible!!!!!! Miss him sooooo much.......

❤❤❤❤❤

R.i.p T

Vegas cd he done with dave Stewart was good not that well now but good listen

Should probably not call ghost town “ghost time” twice

When Knot heads don't know who the ferk these icons were .

💔

So many people are suddenly dying.

This type of programme would stand against everything Terry believed in and stood for how ironic.

Socially Conscious! 😆

twotone....london..aged 18.....

Did the narrator call the Ghost town record Ghost time

Better not watch it's the BBC..I might get reported for watching without a TV licence.

Bloody sad. Gutted.

Did the plonker 'reporter' say 'Ghost Time' at 0:53 ?

Colin is talking shite, shocking

Who?

Another needlecraft related death

As soon as the phrase "racial tension" is dragged in, I switch off.

Not watching. Its the ridiculous BBC.

whos that girl. ???? her nose touches her chin lol... sign of old age
