[@jackiesmith3684]

Chippy I couldn't have said it better what a cracking version of this song with Ali astro rip and riddler who would have thought that in 2022 that it's been a year since we lost our beloved astro rip and rip to the purple one prince xx

[@chippy7745]

Wow….beautiful interpretation of Purple Rain. And, in this show they were honoring Prince BEFORE he passed. Six months before. Now they are mourning the loss of their founding band member Astro (Terence Wilson). RIP to Terence and Prince..💜❤️

[@fay-amieaspen6046]

If you love UB40 then please contact Birmingham City Council and tell them that you want them to receive their rightful star on the Birmingham Broad Street Walk Of Fame that has been denied to them for far too long now and how outraged you are at this slight to the best Brummies around! After 30+ years, I still love and listen to you lads! Thank you for the music!

[@mangoyacho]

Listening from South Africa - you are so right - will do!

[@jackiesmith3684]

Your right there Birmingham council should get there fingers out and get it done

[@bernadettejadusingh7656]

Birmingham City Council listen up please these guys need their rightful star pronto !

[@barryjenkins6137]

They gave it to the real UB40 because Brum council know who the real UB40 are even if you idiots dont

[@jackiesmith3684]

Ali and astro should have had there 🌟 a long time ago so come on Birmingham city council do the right thing for these guys

[@jackiesmith3684]

I'm loving this song the more I hear it big love Ali Frank astro and not forgetting Matt you and JJ with his sweet horn xx

[@imagydsociety8902]

can't wait to see prince perform this versi9n next month..oh wait...

[@MegaGhettovision]

Imagyd Society yeah he won't be there and I don't believe that this version will be done by Mr Purple.

[@jackiesmith3684]

You don't believe that prince wouldn't sing purple rain it's his song dafty and he did sing it at Murray field stadium in Edinburgh my hometown and I was there and he was brilliant

[@birch5375]

yes there are 2 ub40 u have ali astro and mickey and then u have robin and band as ub40 but true fans will always tell u that ali and astro are the true voices of ub40 . It is going through court at moment to c who has right to name ub40 which to me is obvious .

[@birch5375]

That's because ali and astro are true voices of UB40 without them you are not UB40

[@maniaconthetube]

+Simon Wire Damn right m8! Hopefully il be watching in Manchester October 1st time! OH YEEEEES!

[@birch5375]

+maniaconthetube well worth it i see them at 02 london and they brought house down along with radio riddler in support . what a night . :)

[@maniaconthetube]

Purple rain I would a loved it m8 I cannot wait for them @ Manchester academy I love UB40 man real music no manufactured nonsense!

[@barryjenkins6137]

except of course they are not UB40, they quit.Do you understand how quitting a company works? You can go start a new company that sells the same thing, but you cant steal your old companies name when your new company is failing.Court case can't come soon enough, they need jailing for this god awful cod reggae shite whilst they are at it.

[@jackiesmith3684]

​@@barryjenkins6137not another keyboard warrior what is it with folk like you Ali Campbell and astro rip were the voices of UB40 original band members without Ali Campbell who was always on lead vocals and astro rip doing his toasting and singing plus astro had a great stage presence and let robin Campbell carry on with his court case as UB40 doesn't belong to any of them it's the queen's stationary like you didn't know robin and Brian Travers were up to there necks in it with the management and to lose 3 of the original band members because they wanted to go with the management disgrace and karma is a bitch and it's came back and bit robin Campbell and the rest of them in the ass and don't forget Mickey virtue left with Ali Campbell because he couldn't take anymore of the crap but we're in 2024 and Ali Campbell is still selling out his hometown of Birmingham and that's the 2nd time last time being the in memory of astro rip concert so get the facts right before you comment

[@MegaGhettovision]

Brian/Jimmy! I really mean that control freak Robin, Robin Ali that's what u is good at. LET THE MUSIC TALK. ALI CAMPBELL HAS PUT UB40 BACK ON THE MAP! SINCE WYFF. ain't that a fact. biggy.

[@MegaGhettovision]

dathekingofguildwars no he is Mr ub40. founder of the Reggae band writer of the songs, no country she-at. we leave that for the karaoke band with Duncan.

[@MegaGhettovision]

Mr UB4O is Ali Campbell; so true.

[@MegaGhettovision]

Yeah i get what u mean, it would be great if the 8 of them were still together! But things have gone to far for Them to re-join. But the peoples UB40 and if u have a good ear! The only one worth listing to. Is the only way to go.

[@barryjenkins6137]

@@MegaGhettovision what a load of bollocks, Ali never wrote a single song you muppet,, pretty much every song was by Brian,Jimmy and Robin.8 people started the band that he quit, you lot are like religious nutjobs, no matter how many facts are put in front of you, you still blindly follow your (not so)little god.Let us also not forget the "country "album which is reggae ya prick got massive kudos from the media which is more than can be said for any of the shite Ali has turned out.Great British hits??wtf was that?Rehashing old Ub songs on the cheap followed by a digital LOL, anyone would think he has no idea of how to make his own music, or maybe he is just cashing in with the cheapest albums possible because he knows tone deaf sycophants like you would buy Ali sings nursery rhymes if he made it, and lets face facts it is only a matter of time.

[@MegaGhettovision]

@@barryjenkins6137 what a plum . Go back and listen to the garbage that comes from Brian and co! The Bully Boys featuring Drunken Duncan.
