In a statement released by The Specials on Monday, the band said Hall died on Sunday, Dec. 18, after a brief illness.

Drew Griffin, an investigative correspondent who was a familiar face on CNN’s programming for nearly two decades, died last weekend after a battle with cancer, the channel announced.
Griffin, who garnered acclaim and accolades for tackling stories related to corruption, fraud and malfeasance, specialized in challenging investigations that had an outsized impact and was known for tough interviews that didn’t hold back.
His reporting into nursing home deaths and looting by some police officers led to investigations in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

"View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg and CNN anchor Don Lemon argued for journalists to say the full n-word on air while reporting stories.
On Saturday, Lemon said that journalists should use the full word while reporting, rather than using the term "n-word."
Lemon said, "I hate saying 'the n-word.' I think it takes the value out of what that word really means. Especially when we're reporting it. And I don't care what color the reporter is. I think someone should say, that person called someone 'nigger,' instead of saying 'the n-word,' because I think it sanitizes it." Lemon added that he hates the use of the word in music and when it's used for misogynistic purposes. "What I'm saying is in the reporting of a story, you should say the word," he said.
Goldberg echoed Lemon's sentiments on Tuesday's "View." Goldberg said that using the term "n-word" makes the word sound "cute.
