The Specials star Terry Hall 'leaves £1million estate to his family' - after passing away age 63 following secret battle with pancreatic cancer


The Specials star Terry Hall has reportedly left his £1million estate to his family - after passing away age 63.

The first stable lineup of the group consisted of Terry and Neville Staple on vocals, Jerry Dammers on keyboards, Lynval Golding and Roddy Radiation on guitars, Horace Panter on bass, John Bradbury on drums, and Dick Cuthell and Rico Rodriguez on horns. Hall sang about the harrowing ordeal with the song Well Fancy That - performed as part of his second band Fun Boy Three - and told interviewers how it left him suffering from bouts of depression and addiction problems. The band split in 1981, after which Hall, Golding and Staple went on to form Fun Boy Three, while Dammers and Bradbury released an album under the moniker The Special AKA, which spawned the hit single Free Nelson Mandela in 1984.
