Reggae legend Toots Hibbert, 77, dies | Channel

The cause of death was not specified, but Hibbert had reportedly been hospitalised with breathing trouble and was awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test.

Hibbert never achieved the global fame of Bob Marley but was a towering, respected and much-loved figure nonetheless, both at home and abroad as an ambassador for a global musical movement. Over the course of his career, he performed with such musicians as Keith Richards and Eric Clapton, with a sound that evoked elements of rock, R&B, soul and gospel.
