Neville Staple: "I really can’t see any touring with The Specials happening, after they refused an olive branch and my offer to do a full and proper reunion for the fans this year, then insulted me, Jerry and Roddy publicly, then insulted my wife on the phone, who has shown nothing but respect - until they turned on me and the guys. I can’t deal with that kind of crap. I’m happier doing what I have always done with enjoying the music, the fans, the message and the vibes. I also don’t like using bargain bucket or devious ways to get my music noticed."
