Oasis' Noel Gallagher paid tribute to Coventry's 2-Tone legends The Specials at the Ricoh Arena last night.
The Manchester super group - along with Cov Kids The Enemy - performed in front of 40,000 fans yesterday as they completed the Coventry leg of their UK tour.
Noel went backstage with the reformed band earlier this year when the Ghost Town group enjoyed a historic homecoming gig at the Jaguar hall.
And the Oasis legend told last night's sell-out crowd his thoughts on the legendary 2-Tone act.
He told the crowd: "I was here a few months ago. I came here to see the Specials gig.
"They were great with us and allowed us in their dressing room. They're called Special for a reason."
The Specials were in the crowd for last night's gig.
Noel finished his tribute by asking for an ovation for the Coventry favourites, which promptly brought the house down.
