I'm a big fan and was lucky to see them twice! I first remember hearing Red Red Wine 25 years ago and I was hooked. OH WELL, all good things must come to an end I guess!

A MySpace bulletin....

Quote:

As you are all aware by now Ali has decided to leave UB40 after the Uganda show in February, whilst the other band members are deeply saddened by his departure they will continue to perform as UB40 and will be announcing shows for this summer later today.

UB40 wish Ali all the success with his Solo career

UB40 and Reflex Muzic would also like to thank all the fans for your kind comments and look forward to your continued support for the future.

Here are some classic UB40 songs....

I thought UB40 broke up in like 1989.

In all seriousness, I heard they've had some good, underrated albums since "Red red whine". "whine" was just their commercial song. UB40 did much better reggae than that.

UB40 is famous for their commercial/cover albums, like the videos I posted. But if you listen to their ealier work and even some of their later albums like Guns In The Ghetto you will hear their music and writing ablities that they are not given any credit for.
