I have just watched the movie One love, that has left me very emotional over times and people past just to find this sad news. I’m deeply sorry for the loss of another great musician and lovely soul. My heart goes out to family and friends.
Aston Barrett is an absolute legend. As one of my idols as a bass player he will sorely missed. Rest in peace Aston and prayers out to his friends and family.
