Neville Staple

We are very sad Neville cannot join us on The Specials UK tour in May 2013 or indeed on the future projects we have planned. He has made a huge contribution to the fantastic time and reception we have received since we started and reformed in 2009 . However , he missed a number of key shows last year due to ill health & his health is obviously much more important . We wish him the very best for the future.

Just got my tickets for Vancouver. They are playing 2 shows: March 29th at the Commodore and 30th the Vogue. Can't wait. It's been over 30 years since my brother saw them playing with the Police and walked in with their LP and it has been in constant rotation ever since then.

They played in the PNE Agrodome where Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago fought.
