Jerry Dammers has revealed his fears that the Specials reunion won’t last long, because key members of the band can’t resolve their differences.
The band had planned a summer tour later this year, but now it seems that their tour of ‘inappropriate venues’ will be grinding to an abrupt halt.
As a result, the former band leader has stepped back from the comeback because he was never officially invited to be part of the reunion, and he fears his former bandmates are not ready to hit the road 25 years after they split.
He tells Britain's Mojo magazine, "It seems to me what they're doing is reliving the break-up of the original Specials all over again, they're playing inappropriate small venues, they're in danger of running the whole thing into the ground again. The real test will come if they try to make another album."
