Getting excited to see the bands in Negril when we come on Thursday. Got me thinking about Toots and the Maytals. I know that he has not appeared since he was hit in the head with a bottle at a concert by some total douchebag. WE LOVE TOOTS. Has anybody heard how he is doing?
This is the last update I heard.

“I continue to suffer from extreme anxiety, memory loss, headaches, dizziness and most sadly of all, a fear of crowds and performing,” he wrote. “I am not able to write songs as I did before or remember the lyrics of songs that I wrote and have performed for decades.”
Really sad situation.
I work in the concert and theatre business for 30 years now, and I must say of the thousands of concerts I've worked on and seen Toots has by far given the best show I've ever seen, I love his music and wish him well. hoping that someday soon we all can see him perform again.

Darn!!!!.........
Sad to hear about Toots...had the pleasure of seeing him perform twice in Negril! Hopefully this incident doesn't mark the end of his career
As a lawyer, I am just hoping that he will be back and that it was his lawyer talking about not being able to perform in the future although I think if Toots could be out there he would! I love his music, I love his performances and I am just happy that I have seen him a few times.
My wife and I seen Toots at The Jungle a couple years ago. Really good show. Glad we went. Toots also was on the Willie Nelson reggae cd called Countryman. Check it out.
Was at that show a couple years ago...was good but not nearly as good as his show last year at Bourbon BeachOriginally Posted by rocknrollfarmer
If you are going to be in Negril February 1st, great show with Beenie Man, Hiyah Grade, etc. at Jamaica Tamboo.Only $15. in advance & $20. at gate. Looks to be a big show with good turnout...
