"You mean Terry, right?"

Lol, yeah. I didn't realize that I typed that. I think I was thinking of Jerry Dammers while I was typing about Terry Hall, so I accidentally wrote "Jerry".

You mean Terry, right?

On 30 March 2008, Terry Hall stated that The Specials would be reforming for tour dates in Autumn 2008, and possibly for some recording.[5] This was officially confirmed on 7 April 2008.[6]

On 6 September 2008, six members of the band performed on the Main Stage at the Bestival as the 'Surprise Act'. As Jerry Dammers did not play at the festival and owns the trademark rights to the name "The Specials", the group was billed as "Very 'Special' Guests".

On 2 December 2008, the band announced 2009 tour dates to celebrate their 30th anniversary. It was announced that founder member Jerry Dammers is not set to join the band on the tour. Terry Hall was quoted as saying "The door remains open to him,".[7] However Jerry Dammers describes the new reunion as a "takeover" and claims he has been forced out of the band.[8]

On 10 April 2009, the reactivated band guested on the BBC Two's Later... with Jools Holland. The Specials will be touring with more festivals in Japan and Australia planned in August 2009.
