'One of the all time greats of British music'
Manchester music stars have been paying heartfelt tributes to Terry Hall after his shock death. The lead singer of The Specials died aged 63 following a short illness, his bandmates confirmed last night.
Born in Coventry, Terry was a huge Manchester United fan and was a regular fixture at Reds' matches both home and away. And Happy Mondays singer Rowetta said she would miss speaking to him after United games. Former Hacienda DJ and now music author Dave Haslam said: "Terry Hall. One of the all time greats of British music & an icon for a generation. He was unique, deep, funny. The man who buried for me that cliche “don’t meet your heroes”. I had some wonderful times with Terry. Loved him. It’s that simple. Gutted."
