The global reggae fraternity recognises the passing of Neville O’Riley Livingston, better known as Bunny Wailer, as the end of an era. The last surviving member of the Wailers core trio with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, passed away yesterday at 73. Bunny Wailer was a singer, songwriter and percussionist, an activist and icon of reggae music. He was a three-time Grammy Award winner for his albums ‘Time Will Tell – A Tribute to Bob Marley,’ (1991) ‘Crucial! Roots Classics’ (1995) and ‘Hall of Fame: A Tribute to Bob Marley’s 50th Anniversary’ (1997). His achievements and impact on reggae music are monumental and his voice will be sorely missed.
