London: Terry Hall, the lead singer of English ska band The Specials, has died.
He was 63.
The band announced the information about his death on social media.
According to the band's post, the singer died after a brief illness.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, following a brief illness, of Terry, our beautiful friend, brother and one of the most brilliant singers, songwriters and lyricists this country has ever produced," The Specials posted on Facebook.
"Terry was a wonderful husband and father and one of the kindest, funniest, and most genuine of souls. His music and his performances encapsulated the very essence of life… the joy, the pain, the humour, the fight for justice, but mostly the love," the band said.
