Ali Campbell is savouring life in the fast lane as he prepares to hit the road once again.

The former UB40 frontman acrimoniously quit as the frontman of the Birmingham reggae group three years ago, and three hit albums and a sell-out tour meant he didn't look back.

He's fallen out with his family and left the band he founded but Ali Campbell is having the time of his life.

The former UB40 frontman has established himself as a successful solo artist after leaving the band two years ago, having grown unhappy with the management and falling out with his bandmate brothers.

Changing a singer can be risky for any band but when the man who has sung some of the biggest hits of the last 30 years quits it can be doubly worrying.

For UB40 that worry became a reality when lead singer Ali Campbell left at the start of 2008 citing "management difficulties".
