06-09 toetsenist bob marley & The wailers earl 'wya' lindo

De legendarisch toetsenist overleed in een ziekenhuis in Jamaica nadat hij plotseling last van zijn maag kreeg.

De voormalige toetsenist van Bob Marley is overleden op 64 jarige leeftijd in een ziekenhuis in Jamaica. Zijn dood word bevestigd door de Wailers manager Lennie Chen. “I got a call from his manager yesterday. He said Wya was complaining about stomach pains and had gone to the hospital. He died a couple of hours later. He was looking forward to coming on the road with us again.” aldus Chen. Volgens Chen had de toetsenist zich juist begin dit jaar gemeld om weer mee te gaan op tour. Zonder enige oefening paste de toetsenist zo weer in de band.

Artiesten als The Wailers en Maxi Priest toonden allen hun respect voor de overleden muzikant. “There is only one Earl “Wya” Lindo, and today he went home to join Bob, Peter, & Carly for a mystical jam session in Zion,” aldus the Wailers op Social Media.

Maxi Priest over Earl 'Wya' Lindo:
We lost another great one from the music fraternity. My deepest, heartfelt condolences on the passing of the legendary keyboardist, Earl "Wya/Wire" Lindo, from the legendary, Bob Marley's band, The Wailers. Give thanks to the Almighty for comforting everyone with the outpouring of love, that is surrounding his family, friends, fans, and colleagues. May you find strength in our prayers during this difficult time. Jah guide and protect you king, as you journey to Zion. Rastafari love and blessings. #EasyToLove #Wailers #Wya #EarlLindo #RIP
