Bunny Wailer
The children of reggae icon Bunny Wailer have settled the much-discussed outstanding hospital bills and have secured the death certificate and the documentation needed for them to start making plans for his burial. The issue had been in limbo for quite some time since the reggae icon s death as the co-executors seemed to be at odds.
“We, the children of the estate, with no assistance from these individuals, have covered the outstanding hospital bills in order to release our father’s death certificate. We are embarrassed that it had been left unaddressed for so many weeks,” the statement said.

Kingston is home to a great majority of Jamaica’s rich and vibrant culture. So imagine, having the city on lockdown during the
Paddington pandemic as the government encourages ‘tan ah yuh yaad’ protocols.
However, if you find yourself yearning for some heritage or cultural sites in the off week, a quick stroll to the nearest spot is highly recommended.
Plus, the tourism ministry encourages domestic tourism to, among other things, support local businesses.

In order to commemorate Bunny Wailer s 74th birthday, Wailers Ltd announced the planned release of the Soul Rebels 50 album that was recorded by The Wailers Trio Tribute Band.
The tribute band is actually a conceptual group of young artistes that had spontaneously come together as a celebration of the launch of a maquette of The Wailers Statue, sculpted by the renowned Paul Napier. Napier had sculpted a bust of Bunny Wailer for presentation at the IrieFM Lifetime Award event in February 2018. We are using this occasion to mark Bunny Wailer s birthday with this announcement because The Wailers is his true north, and this album will celebrate Bunny s burning passion, which has always revolved around The Wailers. The album Soul Rebels 50 reflects and is an outcome of his concern with the legacy of the group, and that drove and was incorporated into many of his creative decisions, entertainment consultant Maxine Stowe said.
