Toots on the mend

Toots on the mend

REGGAE legend Toots Hibbert and his Maytals band will continue their acoustic shows in the United States despite Toots being injured in Virginia Saturday.

The singer is scheduled to perform at The Hamilton in Washington DC tomorrow. He played the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Centre in New York City Sunday.

Andrea Davis, publicist for Toots and The Maytals, told the Jamaica Observer that the 68-year-old Toots has recovered after being struck on the forehead by a bottle thrown by a drunken fan.

The incident took place at the Dominion Riverrock Festival.

Toots was performing his hit song, Country Roads, when the man hurled a Vodka bottle onstage and struck him.

The wound required several stitches at the VCU Medical Center. The drunken fan was arrested and charged by police.

Toots and The Maytals’ current tour comprises acoustic dates based on his Grammy-nominated album, Reggae Got Soul: Unplugged in Strawberry Hill.

The band started their trek on May 20 in Annapolis, Maryland. They are scheduled to close on June 1 at Trinity Hall in Norfolk, Connecticut.

Toots and The Maytals are known for classic songs such as 54-46, Monkey Man and Bam Bam. They have been one of the top touring reggae acts for over a decade.

The group won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2005 with True Love.
