[GNL]

Much too young

 

[BoysForSeles]

Awk sad news. Had no idea of him being abducted by a teacher as a teen. Knew the stuff with Bananarama best.

 

[GNL]

I hope all you ska haters are happy.

 

[lolly]

Bloody hell.

Yeah, the Specials, Fun Boy Three etc etc, but this #77 smash came up on Voice Of The Beehive radio on Spotify earlier today and I've always been very fond.

 

[Mike(y) W]

This year can fuck off now.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Shocking. Absolutely gutted

The whole album is great

Then there's The Specials and this is all too sad.

 

[Kate]

Genuinely gutted

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Ghost Town is an absolute tune! R.i.p

 

[big ron]

Genuinely sad.

They were just touring this past Summer. Was he still part of the line-up?

To invoke a moopy classic, bigger than bowie on my facebook

 

[jyxz]

Much too young

Ooof!

Bit early for the jokes on this one for me.

Definitely part of my early years dna this one

To invoke a moopy classic, bigger than bowie on my facebook

Yes, it's huge around these parts as well.

 

[lolly]

I forgot this last night, after being reminded of Terry, Blair and Anouchka earlier in the day. Fairly sure I've still got this one on CD single somewhere.

That's an absolute shocker. How thoroughly awful. RIP.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The kidnap story is horrendous!

How on the nose that he should die during a period as bad or even worse than the period he most famously highlighted in song.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I always remember Ghost Town from an episode of Father Ted, where the DJ only had that song.

Amazed its never been a TikTok thing to be honest.

I know it's a Moopy standard but it's true, isn't it? My twitter has almost nothing else.

Right mix of people as well, football hooligans, ravers, punks, my Mum.

 

[FetchFugly]

He was quite gorgeous in an appealingly glum way. Also another Nana-adjacent death which makes me quite sad.
