We are absolutely devastated and completely heartbroken to have to tell you that our beloved Astro has today passed away after a very short illness. The world will never be the same without him.
We ask you to please respect his family’s privacy at this incredibly difficult time.
Rag of a “Newspaper” ran off of lies, injustice and misrepresentation!
A city so good to us over the years, we show solidarity to our friends, family and supporters in Liverpool!

Doesn’t get any easier coming to terms with the fact you are no longer around, when I look to my side there is a void where my right hand man used to be, your energy is ever present and your legacy lives on. Thank you for the memories & many laughs that we will forever treasure
The wait is over!

Sending heartfelt condolences on the passing of Aston "Family Man" Barrett from The Wailers.
His legacy will forever resonate through the timeless music he contributed to. May he rest in eternal peace, and may his family find solace in the enduring impact he made.
