Were you aware that Grammy award-winning Reggae legend Bunny Wailer suffered a mild stroke, over a month ago?
Well he did and his manager Maxine Stowe has shared that he is on the road to recovery undergoing therapy.
According to Jamaica Observer;
Wailer, 71, suffered the stroke on October 11 at his Kingston home. Stowe told the Jamaica Observer that the singer/songwriter had just returned from his farm in Portland when she noticed he had “some communication problems.” He was taken to his private doctor where it was discovered his right side was affected and his speech impaired. Stowe disclosed that Wailer is doing therapy five times a week and improving.
“It didn’t affect anything major except his speech. The muscles on his right side are a bit affected, but he’s responding to therapy,” she said.
Born Neville Livingston, Wailer is the sole survivor of the three most famous members of The Wailers, a harmony group formed in Trench Town during the early 1960s. Along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, he recorded a number of cutting-edge songs like Small Axe, Duppy Conqueror, Mr Brown, and Get Up Stand Upwhich impressed record companies in the US and United Kingdom. The Bunny Wailer catalogue includes classic albums such as Blackheart Man and Rock N Groove. He has won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album three times.
