Hello folks, This post is responding to the Nov. 4th NME article alleging that Roddy left the Specials. Here is the official press release regarding this: "In response to the November 4th NME article citing Roddy “Radiation” Byers’ alleged decision to leave the Specials, Mr. Byers would like to make it clear that he has not, in fact, left the Specials. Any previous statements quoted in the articles that were made by Mr. Byers regarding leaving the Specials were in reaction to Terry Hall’s public statements in August 2011 about disbanding after this last tour, and have nothing to do with the recent decision by Mr. Hall and other members to continue on. Byers is still planning to be involved in all future Specials’ music and tours, and is looking forward to seeing the Specials’ fans in front of the stage once more." Even more clarity and an affirmation that Lynval Golding confirmed this statement can be seen here: marcoonthebass.blogspot.com/2011/11/specials-to-soldier-on-roddy-byers-is.html?spref=fb

as long as it's what they all want then I guess it's a good thing, after seeing (and hearing!) Roddy's guitars at the live gigs it would definitely not be the same without him.
