The Specials: ‘Before, we were shouting - now we’re saying it nicely’ LONDON - Lynval Golding still has flashbacks. They are no longer frequent, almost 40 years on, but there will always be little things, noises, sudden movements, that trigger the memories. That’s the hardest part, he says, of getting over a violent attack. The physical scars heal, eventually. The emotional scars take a lot longer to fade. The Specials guitarist and singer was stabbed in Coventry city centre in 1982; his neck slashed in a racist attack which left him fighting for his life in intensive care. With knife crime dominating the headlines, the reminders are everywhere. “The hardest part of it is how long it takes you to get over the emotional side,” Golding says. “The scar will be healed but the emotional side, it takes years. It’s hard to understand the trauma, and how many years it takes to feel normal. “Afterwards, for a long time, when I went to a pub I would stand with my back against the wall, to make sure I could see people. The emotional part of it is everlasting. Any little noise, you know?” Golding says he had another run-in near Westminster last year which brought it back. “I was about to sit on a bench where this guy was sitting on his
own. He says, ‘you can’t sit here, I’ll stab you’. Straight away, flashbacks. He pulled something out, it looked like an ornamental sword. I backed away and called the police.” Golding is speaking to Sky News from a hotel in Cologne, west Germany, as he prepares for the first night of The Specials’ 40th anniversary tour, which will take shows across Europe before the UK and then the US and Canada. The ska and 2-tone legends’ current incarnation features original members Terry Hall and Horace Panter, along with Golding, and they are still celebrating their first ever number one album, Encore, which peaked at the top of the charts in February; coming as the country prepares for Brexit, it was a poignant milestone for the band that provided a musical backdrop to the political turmoil of the late 1970s and early ‘80s. (afp) As one of the biggest bands of their era, it is easy to forget that The Specials, in their original form, only lasted a few years. In 1981, after their biggest hit, Ghost Town, went to number one, Hall, Golding and Neville Staple left to form Fun Boy Three, while co-founder Jerry Dammers and the remaining bandmates continued as The Special AKA, with other new members, until 1984.

Paying tribute on social media, actress Lauren London posted several pictures of the musician on Instagram, including images of the star with their two-year-old son. “I am completely lost. I’ve lost my best friend,” the 34-year-old said. It came after police arrested a man in connection with Hussle’s death. Eric Holder, 29, was reportedly on the run for two days before his capture in Bellflower - a Los
Angeles suburb around 20 miles (32km) southeast of where the rapper was shot outside his own clothing store. It is not known how officers found the suspect, but reports say he was detained by sheriff’s deputies until the LAPD arrived to make the arrest. Police chief Michael Moore said the men knew each other and that they had had a “personal dispute” in the hours before the shooting. Shortly before his death, a tweet
Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Davidson Asghedom, had been a figure in the West Coast hiphop scene for more than a decade. He released a number of mixtapes before his debut album, Victory Lap, in February, which earned him a best rap album nomination at the Grammys. Stars including Rihanna, Pharrell Williams and Drake are among those who have paid tribute, with Williams saying he was a “positive” force who “inspired millions”. (net)
