Greetings
Can you name the artist and cause of death!I`m curious of how many reggae bredrin the world has lost...
These are the ones i can think of:
>Bob Marley-Cancer (1981)
>Peter Tosh-Murdered (1987)
>Prince Far I-Murdered (1983)
>King Tubby-Murdered (1989)
>Joseph Hill-Unsure (2006)
>Lucky Dube-Murdered (2007)
>Hugh Mundell-Murdered (1983) He lived till the year of
1983 but sadly Africa was not entirely free...
>Augustus Pablo-Collapsed Lung (1999)
>Dennis Brown-Collapsed Lung (1999)
>Mikey Dread-Brain Tumor (2008)
>Henry Junjo Lawes-Murdered (1999)
>Jacob Miller-Car Accident (1980)
That`s all the names i can think of at the top of my head.One things for sure the bredrin that have been murdered is a staggering number!Even the hip hop scene hasn`t had this many murders!One things for sure the reggae business was a deadly environment to be in.
Too all the reggae soldiers who`ve fell we`ll always remember you and your music still lives on!!!

I've got a Newspaper article published a few days after his death ( found it in a record-sleeve I bought a couple of years ago... ), it gives some very detailed information that I haven't seen online yet. Icl names of possible killers.

Michael Smith stoned to death! ,Tenor Shaw gunned down in a drive by! ,Barry Brown fell on his face! What`s happening to our bredrin? Sad to hear about Tommy McCook`s death but at least he got to a better age than allot of the dreads.
