UB40 of king hits Provo


Founding member of legendary British and the former lead singer band UB40 hit the stage at the swish resort after midnight on Thursday evening.

But the late start did not stop hundreds of excited residents and holiday makers from bobbing and swaying to the intoxicating reggae beats.

Ali Campbell, who turned 50 this year, sold more than 70 million records worldwide with UB40.
He has four number one hits under his belt including ‘Red, Red Wine,’ ‘Baby Come Back,’ ‘I’ve Got You Babe,’ and ‘I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You.’

After three decades of success with the popular eight-piece Brummie band, Ali split from them in January 2008.

He added the break-up down to reoccurring problems with management and said he wanted to focus on his solo career.

In 2007 he launched a solo album called Running Free which entered the UK charts at number nine and earlier this year he released his second album Flying High.

Paul Sackey will miss the games of starting season

The 29-year-old has been tangential since problem his leg 10 minutes into his return to action verses Bristol in April, having hurt his calf during the RBS Six Nations.
And even though the revival process has gone well, Paul accepts he won't come back into action.
"My leg was broken in two places last season but it is healing well. I haven't started running yet and it may be that I miss one or two games at the start of the season. But that's better than rushing back too quickly and maybe suffering another injury as a result.
"As soon as the leg is strong and ready to go out there, that's when my date is. When I come back I want to be 100 per cent and hopefully fitter, stronger and faster than ever."
Wasps begin their Guinness Premiership campaign on September 5 verses Harlequins at Twickenham.
