Last year, the former frontman/guitarist for the famous reggae/rock band, UB40 explains the real reason why he left the band. Last year, there was a lot of controversy sparking the web that Ali Campbell left the band ’cause he wanted to start a solo career, he thought he had a good long run in UB40, he always liked playing with them and he just wanted to move on.

Now, he speaks to the Sun and admitted the real reason why he left the band was that he felt he was disgusted the band had to continue. Ali says he will never rejoin them ever again.

I agree with Ali, that they should have never continued to play music to this day. Back in the 80’s, early 90’s, they were very mainstream and popular, today no one knows who UB40 is anymore. They are no longer a hit mainstream band like they once were.

I really enjoyed UB40 back in those days though.
