[@HarryNakou-k6o]

Love those guys it was really really sad that were not going to see them together like this anymore 😢💔

[@vincentkerr1819]

THESE GUYS WERE UNBELIEVABLE WHEN THEY WERE TOGETHER ❤️ SO SO TALENTED AND VERY SAD TO SEE 👀 MY BEST TWO TONE REGGAE BAND ON THIS EARTH 🌎 JUST DISSAPPEAR. BUT THE MUSIC 🎶 IS STILL HERE FOR EVERYONE.

[@jackiesmith3684]

Your right Vincent the music is still here my son was born in 1983 now a grown man who loves the music so does my grandson who is only 18yrs old and he sings his heart out to all the classic he loves Johnny 2 bad with Norman and astro rip. He takes his good taste from me lol

[@nathalievanviegen2547]

They are still together

[@donaldphahlane7751]

The most classic Reggae band ever.....

[@martinhawkrsworth9676]

Absolutely fantastic Legendary band wow brilliant live in concert

[@kiyimbalenon265]

It was a great performance. Big up UB40

[@jackiesmith3684]

Can I just say thanks to whoever put the footage up of the last time the original band members were on stage together the fans at the concert must have had a great time singing and dancing along to the music fricking brilliant sadly now in 2022 astro and Brian Travers have both passed away rip to you both can I just say I don't think anyone who was there would have been thinking about what was going on in there personal lives or Ali never looked at anyone what the Frick when you go to a concert you go to enjoy your self not worry about things that doesn't concern anyone but the band members so get a life and enjoy the music

[@adede1476]

de loin le meilleur groupe de reggae du monde il faut le voir pour le croire

[@nathalievanviegen2547]

❤4 ever🎶👌🏼

[@ericcastaneda7392]

This is really sad. I saw the original band at the San Diego sports arena in 95!!! It sucks to see the original band break apart. RIP Astro & Brian Travers.

[@henrylongsworthlongsworth1480]

Just saw the the great UB40 live at Hollywood Bowl September 18th 2022 and hey they as massive as ever!! Respect UB40 big bad sound!! 🥳 🥳

[@fileminokilicho3159]

sorry, did i hear you right? they got together again after all these years? HOW nice.

[@maxfrasier]

massive as ever ?! if only. UB40 died in 2008.

[@stig20101]

Was it with the new singer Matt Doyle ? Then I agree the real UB40 that ali left for his solo album is as big as ever and UB40 didn't split or end they just lost their lead singer but carried on and then later on Ali wasn't doing well as just Ali Campbell so started calling himself UB40 and tells alot of lies like Micky virtue retiring from his band when in fact he's working with other artists Brian is right he is a pathological liar

[@egrono1]

Saw them at least three times in the 80's. SO glad to have had experienced the entire band in their prime.

[@christineoryemalalobolubwa2339]

This concert was epic....glad I attended!

[@Plookify]

Excellent bassist

[@pelemeki248]

I wish they will sing together for the last time, Sir Ali, go back to the real UB40 and your brother Robin, because life is short. You should build a moment that will never forget. RIP Sir Brian Travers and Sir Astro.

[@stig20101]

Ali won't do that and I don't think they would want him back after splitting a band and family up so he could promote his running free album

[@bexuk1825]

I agree, as a fan for 40 years, I'm 46 now, I totally appreciate and understand a lot of hurt, mistrust, upset, and more. But life is SO short, even if it's for 1 time only, they should ALL put aside their differences (I know there's a lot, especially with drawn out legal battles, and snide remarks & personal put downs etc) and UNITE, before any more OG members pass on (sorry to be morbid). It's extremely sad, especially as they were all so close, sad for Ali & Robin too, it's family. I obviously don't want to make assumptions, and as i said there are a lot of issues, and were numerous issues before the split. But in my opinion (I may upset people with this next comment) even with missing money, disagreements, dodgy managers & other problems, I think if Ali had stayed single & not re-married, he may have stayed grounded (not blaming UB40 split solely on Julie, just hinting, Ali's behaviour & outlook changed a little, was it gentle persuasion, manipulation, isolation or coincidence?) Anyway, regardless of my essay, and my opinion, I love Ali, Astro, and UB40. Nothing beats Ali's voice, he IS UB40, as are the original members, each in their own way,to become one, and complete the band. Come on #UB40 re-unite for a 1 off anniversary gig !!!!!!! PLEASE #UB40Reunite2024 #UB40 Take The Higher Ground, Don't Break My Heart and Please Don't Make Me Cry. Bring Me Your Cup Full Of Red Red Wine accompanied By Breakfast In Bed. Its an Impossible Love, I am a One In Ten, Who Can't Help Falling In Love With UB40. Maybe Tomorrow You'll All Reunite In Kingston Town. It's Food For Thought. Instead of saying Where did I go Wrong, let's Sing Our Own Song, and I guarantee you, ALL the fans Will Stick by you. Tears from my eyes are falling, I'm Just Another Girl, A Homely Girl, waiting for her favourite band to get the Rat in Mi kitchen out, then we can continue Groovin all together, I know there will be Many Rivers to cross, but Until My Dying Day, I'll be a UB40 Fan waiting for a Reunion, before We Kiss and Say Goodbye. The Way You Do the Things You Do, is King. Signing Off for now, love from Sweet Cherrie, and your fans ***Hope you liked my little "play on words" using song titles.

[@ronnel8415]

Love the original UB40.

[@robertdavies8421]

Great performance considering all the tension that was going on at the time!, such a shame we'll never get to see this line-up again...Rip Brian & Astro

[@pascalthomas5464]

Qu est que ca fait du bien de les voir tous réunis l original groupe quoi !

[@jackiesmith3684]

I wouldn't be bothered about what goes on between band members it's there business it's about the music and the fans that were at the concert with the original band members I don't think they were watching who was looking at who it's between them myself I would have been there to see and listen to the music and seeing the original band members for the last time rip astro and Brian Travers god bless you both x

[@jackiesmith3684]

Seeing UB40 original band members in happier times fricking brilliant but got to say 2024 the voice of UB40 Ali Campbell and Mickey virtue left because of the management and robin Campbell I think it's about time that you started to concentrate on your own career and band members instead of having a pop at Ali Campbell every chance you Norman earl and Jimmy brown get a chance especially as 2 of the band members are sadly no longer with us as in the legend astro rip and Brian Travers rip and by the way none of you have halo's above your heads but the point scoring needs to stop and remember Ali Campbell was lead vocalist from the start and you were supposed to be the secondary vocalist but even now in 2024 we don't hear much of your vocals which is sad because when I first saw UB40 original band members in my hometown of Edinburgh you could hear your vocals and your son needs to keep out of it slagging off Ali Campbell because he wasn't even born when you first started out and yous owe a lot to Chrissie Hyde and the pretenders for taking yous on tour with her which really got yous all noticed and to all the idiots saying that Ali Campbell and Mickey virtue don't speak crap Mickey virtue is a private person and that's why he has never gave any interviews to anyone big love Ali Campbell rip astro and Brian Travers xxx

[@janettecoady5529]

It's Ali's voice dat makes UB40 a success

[@shininglightstar843]

Ali really didnt want to do concert. Nevertheless they made it work. RIP Brian Travers. Not forgotten for sure! 🕯😢🕯😢❤

[@garnzaonthenet]

Brian was a total legend and true gent. Sadly missed. What a man.

[@jackiesmith3684]

What about the legend astro rip he was a great man so down to earth never forgot were he came from now in 2023 love seeing the original band members all together but how come shining light you don't mention that astro rip passed away as well but at least he got the send off he deserved at the in memory of astro rip concert in Birmingham I've said it before and I'll say it again from Ali Campbell lead vocals from the start riddler the musicians backing vocalist and all the fans who were there to show there respects for astro brilliant yous all did him proud a very emotional night but the fans and Ali and every single person on the stage with him big love to every one of yous xxx

Sound brilliant live

[@mycolliesandme268]

Ali only did this tour because he would of been sued if he hadn't. He didn't speak to the band the whole tour. A strange guy. And sad that he did this. They haven't spoken since he left. He remains bitter and estranged from the band and his family to this day.

this 'strange guy' is and forever will be the unique voice of UB40.

Have you ever been scammed and lied to ?

[@edvanesch178]

I heard in an interview with Robin, that Ali didn't look at them the whole tour!... And if you look closely, you can see that Ali is constantly ignoring them...

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

He didn't attend the official press conference either. We had no idea how deep this rift was at that time. Sad really.

@@jackiesmith3684 all of them hated Ali at that time, he is on record as saying he didn't have a friend in the world

[@barryjenkins6137]

@@jackiesmith3684 oh and feel free to show me examples of people that have quit a band/company and 7 years later started using the same name even though the band carried on.There isnt any.If Ali was all that he would have stood on his own,but he tried that and had to cancel so many shows from lack of sales.Terry Hall the lead singer of the Specials and 2 other members quit the band but sure as shit didnt call themselves the Specials feat Terry,Lynval and Nev.Pitiful and pathetic.hahaha

[@pattijones6438]

UB40 will go on and do well without Ali Campbell. It's the fans and not Ali Campbell who made UB40 a success.

[@wullieman]

You can hear the difference when he’s not singing.years of experience singing style . Might be an ass hole but you can’t replace that voice

[@Kazza_8240]

I beg to differ, I fell in love with the combination of the reggae music and Ali's voice, anyone who's talented can replicate the music, but you can't replicate a voice, no matter how hard Duncan tries, he'll never fit Ali's shoes in my opinion. Hes got a bloody cheek jumping on the UB40 bandwagon anyway, he wasn't interested at the beginning, and dont get me started on the reggae/country Frankensongs 😖

I saw them @ the teenage cancer trust in London Albert hall 08 April 2008 they done a great version of I shot the sheriff with Eric Clapton I met Ali on December 16th 2013 quite sad to hear him talk about the break up now Brian is in the spirit world the rest is history Ali Campbell one of the greatest voices to come out of the uk I first saw them 3rd November 1980 I was sixteen Hammersmith palais memorable

[@jackiesmith3684]

Your right Ali is one of the greatest voices to come out of the u k and his voice you could not mistake I would know his voice anywhere
