Four original members of UB40, the British reggae band that sold more than 70 million records, have been declaredbankrupt by a judge in Britain, the BBC and Billboard reported. A judge in the Birmingham County court said government tax officers could seize the band’s assets and property to pay off outstanding debts in a ruling against the saxophonist Brian Travers, the drummer Jimmy Brown, the trumpeter Terence Oswald and the percussionist Norman Hassan.

The judge’s order follows the collapse of the band’s record label, DEP International, which caused a fight over finances that led to a rift among the members in 2008. That year the lead singer, Ali Campbell, left the group, because of “management difficulties” and “an ongoing investigation into the handling of my business affairs,” according to a statement he released at the time.

Over a 33-year career, UB40 had more than 50 hits, including “Red Red Wine,” “I Got You Babe” and “Kingston Town.” Last week they were honored with a music heritage plaque at the Hare & Hounds pub in Kings Heath, Birmingham, where the band first performed in 1979.
