Bunny Wailer, a founding member of the Wailers and a reggae music giant whose career spanned seven decades, has died at the age of 73.

Wailer's manager, Maxine Stowe, confirmed that Wailer died on Tuesday at the Medical Associates Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica (via the Jamaica Observer). No cause of death was given, but Wailer had been in and out of the hospital since suffering his second stroke, in 2020. A representative for the musician did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's request for comment.

Wailer, born Neville Livingstone, before adopting his famous moniker, he was also known as Bunny Livingstone, was a member of the original Wailers trio with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.
