The Specials To Reform 'With Dignity'
Share

Coventry band The Specials are planning a reunion tour for later this year, according to frontman Terry Hall.

Hall said that the ska band, who created such hits as ‘Ghost Town’ and ‘Rat Race’, had been inspired by the long-list of veteran band’s that have reformed over recent years.

"Because I saw Patti Smith do Horses, and I saw The Pixies reforming... you do it with dignity or don't do it at all,” he told the BBC.

The frontman said that the group hoped to be on the road this Autumn.

“We need to spend the summer rehearsing, I think it's taken me 30 years to realise we could do it really well,” he said.

Hall and the band’s guitarist Lynval Golding appeared at the Glastonbury Festival last year alongside Lily Allen and Damon Albarn.
