When:

Short story:

John 'Brad' Bradbury, drummer with The Specials, dies aged 62 in England, UK. No cause of death is announced.

Full article:

Jerry Dammers : Hearing of Brad’s death has been a great shock to me and it is a very sad day indeed. I was friends with Brad and the two of us shared a house some time before the Specials . He was highly intelligent, had a very mischievous sense of humour which could be very funny, and he played the drums with an incredible amount of energy which was a very important part of the Specials' sound and live shows. We had some really great times together and it is truly tragic that he has died so young. My thoughts are with all his family.
