9. Tosh’s Posthumous Grammy Makes Its Way To A Boston Pawn Shop
In 1987, Peter Tosh continued to climb the charts with his newly released CD, No Nuclear War. When Tosh took a break from the tour, he went to his Jamaican home. Upon his arrival, three men waited for him and demanded money. After hours of torture, they murdered Tosh.
During the 1988 Grammys, Tosh’s cd won the Best Reggae award. Over the next couple of decades, it seemed that people started to forget about Tosh – that was until his Grammy showed up in a Boston pawn shop window. Because it’s illegal to sell the award, it continues to sit in the pawn shop.
