Three gunmen broke into his Kingston home, killing the singer and two others, and wounding four other people. Peter Tosh’s funeral was held in the National Arena before thousands of mourners.



Always the revolutionary, Tosh was a prime exponent of the notion that there can be no peace without equal rights and justice. His words were the rallying cry of the Los Angeles uprising, and of oppressed peoples everywhere.

2. I once sent a song I wrote to................

Peter Tosh.
Some of the lyrics...

The people they are crying
The light they do not see
No hope deep inside them
All they want is to be free

Corporate boss he say now
The man He's good to us
Labor is cheap and the taxes low
That he stay is a must

Hah...been drinking and it's all I can remember now.
Never did go anywhere.
