Jerry Dammers tribute to John ‘Brad’ Bradbury

Jerry Dammers remembers John ‘Brad’ Bradbury, drummer with  The Specials, who sadly died on Monday 28th December 2015.

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.
