Reggae artist Bunny Wailer, an original member of Bob Marley and the Wailers, died on Tuesday. He was 73.
The three-time Grammy winner died at the Andrews Memorial Hospital in the Jamaican parish of St. Andrew, his manager, Maxine Stowe, told The Associated Press. His cause of death was not immediately clear. Local newspapers had reported he was in and out of the hospital after a stroke nearly a year ago.
The Wailers were founded by Marley, Wailer and Peter Tosh in 1963. Wailer was the last surviving founding member after Marley and Tosh died in 1981 and 1987, respectively.
Johnny Nash signed the group to an exclusive publishing and recording contract with his JAD record label, formed in 1967 with Danny Sims, and financed some of the band s recordings.
