Former UB40 frontman Ali Campbell has been declared bankrupt, it has emerged.

Campbell joins four other members of the Birmingham-based group - Brian Travers, Jimmy Brown, Terence Oswald and Norman Hassan - who were also confirmed to be insolvent last week.

Campbell was declared bankrupt at Bournemouth County Court in June, according to The Sunday Mercury.

The musician's financial issues are said to be due to the band's failed record company DEP International, and Campbell's departure from the group in 2008.

Last week, Campbell's spokesperson said: "It is ironic that the very week they celebrate their first gig they have been declared bankrupt, after administration began in 2006, vindicating both Ali and Mickey Virtue's decision to leave UB40."
