Much too young! He had apparently been struggling and there is a suggestion he was depressed.
Great song, we had problems with race at this time, this made so much sense to a teenage me A totally honest man who spent lots of his youth fighting against racism and intolerance

Seems being a musician shortens your life unless you are Mick Jagger ! He seemed a shy man who wasn't happy under the spotlight especially in later years R.I.P.

Very sad and a talented man. I wasn't aware of his teenage troubles either.

If you ever wanted to know know more about The Specials, Horace Panter wrote his autobiography, Ska'd for Life. Which I reckon was pretty good and it's not an expensive buy.
In it he talks about the song Our Lips are Sealed and its connection with the Go-Gos. Im sure Terry would approve of me preferring the Go-Gos version and posting it here over the more usually heard (in the uk anyway) Fun Boy Three version of which I wasnt much of a fan when it came out.
Im still reeling for finding this out to be honest... sigh...

Todays news is Martin Duffy has also died, and he's younger than me.
Saw Primal Scream at a festival in London a few years back, fantastic set.
Better get out & enjoy ourselves, who knows what is round the corner.

I adored the Specials. I even tolerated Fun Boy 3 (with Bananarama!). Oddly I was listening to Too Much Too Young last night. What a sad loss. Thanks Terry for everything.

Got to admit I didn't like the specials but his later stuff was good It was too soon after the adrenalin buzz of punk and this and fook8n Pink Floyd another brick in the wall was depressing IMO Was reading up about Terry Hall and being kidnapped at 12 by a paedophile gang wouldn't have helped and being diagnosed with bipolar certainly put the poor fella in dark places π

Certainly one of the sounds of my school years. I never knew about the suffering he must have endured at an early age Truly awful Rip Terry
