UB40 Bring Ali Campbell Era To An End In Uganda
Share

Ali Campbell played his last concert as the frontman of UB40 in Uganda on Saturday night (February 23rd).

The concert, which took place at the Lugogo Cricket Oval, was witnessed by 30,000 fans.

It initially emerged that Campbell would be leaving in the band in a statement issued to the BBC in January.

In it the band claimed that Campbell was leaving the group in order to pursue his solo career.

However, Campbell issued an open letter on his website condemning the explanation, adding that his departure was due to “intolerable management difficulties”.

UB40 have vowed to continue despite Campbell’s departure and are scheduled to begin touring again in May.
