Here's a statement from his family which states he died yesterday.
In a statement, his family said: " It is with deepest regret that we have to announce the very sad news that our much loved husband and father John 'Brad' Bradbury passed away on Monday the 28th of December.
"Brad's drumming was the powerhouse behind The Specials and it was seen as a key part to the Two Tone sound. He was much respected in the world of drumming and his style of reggae and ska was seen as genuinely ground breaking when The Specials first hit the charts in 1979.
"He was an integral part of The Specials reforming in 2008 and toured with them extensively up to the present day. His contribution to the world of music can not be understated and he will much missed by family, friends and fans alike.
"It is the family's sincerest wish that they are allowed the time to remember him privately."

Utterly devastated. He made me pick up sticks and buy a set of drums. Along with Keith Moon this man was my musical hero. _________________ This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 255 character limit |

I just heard the devastating news, Brad was my favourite drummer by a mile and seemed to be a real gent. Well at least I had the pleasure of seeing him play a few times live, My condolences to all who knew and loved him... |
