A man, 23, has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Fidel Glasgow – grandson of Specials singer Neville Staple.
Mr Glasgow, 21, died in hospital after being stabbed in the stomach in Coventry during an altercation near Club M in the early hours of 1 September.
Neville Staple, who found fame with the Ska band in the late 1970s, has said he is feeling “numb” after losing his grandson.
He added in a news conference last week that he was struggling to talk about it because it was “so shocking” and “tragic”.
West Midlands Police said “significant progress” had been made in the investigation.
“I am still appealing for anyone with information to get in touch. It may be the crucial bit of the jigsaw that we need,” said Detective Inspector Harry Harrison.
“We have not let up in our search for Fidel’s killer and this is significant progress in our investigation.”
Mr Staple said during the news conference: “There’s a lot of people who tried to help and step in, so those are the kind of people we need to come forward and say what they saw, and what they did to help.”
He added: “The knife crime stuff that’s been around now, I’m really feeling that because when we do shows, we talk about that, encourage the fans if they know anybody to try to straighten it out. We’re advocates for don’t carry knives.”
