The Specials had petered out by 1981. Dammers led a revived Special AKA most notably having a huge hit with Free Nelson Mandela. Hall, Golding and Staples formed the successful Fun Boy Three. Hall also had some success with Colourfield.

**STOP PRESS!** - They have reformed as at April 2008 ! and they're planning some gigs later this year.
