KINGSTON, Jamaica — Slain reggae legend Peter Tosh is getting some of the same historical treatment in his native Jamaica as the late Bob Marley.
A museum devoted to the life and music of Tosh opened Wednesday near the Marley museum that has long been a major tourist attraction in the Jamaican capital.
Tosh was among founding members of what was originally known in 1964 as the Wailing Wailers, along with Marley, Bunny Livingston and Junior Braithwaite. The band was later called simply “The Wailers.”
Tosh went on to have a successful solo career.
He was shot and killed during a 1987 attack on his home.
