- Jamaican reggae legend, Neville O’Riley Livingston popularly known as Bunny Wailer is dead
- This is according to a statement by Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange
- Reggae Fans across the world mourn the demise of the Legend.
Reggae legend Bunny Wailer, who co-founded The Wailers with Bob Marley in the 1960s, died Tuesday in Kingston at the age of 73, the Jamaican government said.
No cause of death was given but the culture ministry said Wailer — his real name was Neville Livingstone — had been hospitalized since December, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.
Wailer was the last surviving original member of the Wailers after Marley died of cancer in 1981, and Peter Tosh was murdered in 1987.
Wailer, who was a childhood friend of Marley, won three Grammys over the course of his career and in 2017 he was awarded Jamaica’s Order of Merit — the country’s fourth highest honor.
