Terry Hall's bandmate has revealed the star faced a short battle with cancer, after he died age 63 earlier this week.
The Specials' lead vocalist had planned to record a new album with the band last month, but he was taken ill with a suspected stomach bug. Bassist Horace Panter gave an emotional account of Terry's final days.
He recalled how 'everything turned to sh**' on Sunday October 2, when he got a call from their manager letting him know Terry's illness was 'a lot worse' than they initially feared. Sadly Terry was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which had spread to his liver and, although initial treatment went well, the music icon was 'very frail' earlier this month prior to his death.
