End of the fight: Aston Barrett is defeated in court and is now left with a US$ 4 million debt! Check it out!

The former bassist of Bob Marley, Aston "Family Man" Barrett, who had been pursuing a court case for several years to collect his royalties for having composed and played with the King of Reggae, is now in a cold situation. Aston Barrett, who was fighting for an amount of 115 million dollars for his work with Bob, is now in debt of almost 4 million dollars, related to legal and legal expenses.

A Island Records and Família Marley, holders of the rights to BOb Marley's work, proved in court that in 1994 an amount of 500 thousand dollars was paid to Barrett, at which time he would give up his rights from then on. As a result, Aston left the court with a negative balance and demoralized in the eyes of the entire community.
