Barely a month after Georgie, the boy who kept the fire burning in Bob Marley’s early life passed away, yet another influential player in the reggae star’s life has kicked the bucket.

Alvin “Seeco” Patterson, a percussionist of Bob Marley & The Wailers band passed on yesterday aged 91. He was the oldest surviving member of the original Wailers band and arguably Bob’s best friend.
