Terry Hall Death: The Specials Singer's Entire Hometown Honors Him This Way [Look]

Terry Hall might have been to different countries and cities during his lifetime as a touring singer, but no place is like home-and Coventry City in Warwickshire, England wants the entire world to know where this iconic singer hailed from.

Hall, the frontman of the British ska band The Specials, died at the age of 63 due to a cancer diagnosis, new reports revealed.

His death brought in numerous of his contemporaries and fans pouring in to pay tribute to the fallen singer, including his very own hometown, Coventry City.

Coventry City is located in England's West Midlands and is a part of Warwickshire county.

Hall, along with several other members of The Special, was born and raised here, and this city is considered the birthplace of the ska band itself.

That is perhaps why the city took the news of Hall's death with much sorrow, and fas from the city pleaded a special tribute for The Specials' fallen frontman.

According to reports, fans asked Coventry City's football for a special tribute to the singer.

"As a tribute on Wednesday, can we wear the two-tone third kit from a couple of years ago?" A fan asked.

"We're not able to do this, but we will be paying our tribute on Wednesday night," replied the official Twitter account of the football club.

Sure enough, during one of the games hosted a day after Hall's death, the city's football club paid tribute to the singer by having a big signage board dedicated to Hall.

It reads: "Hello, I'm Terry and I'm going to enjoy myself first. -Terry Hall 19/03/1959 - 18/12/2022"

BBC reported that the HMV Empire also paid tribute to Hall. Their promotional sign outside the venue reads: "thank you for the memories, Terry Hall. Love, love, love."
