One of reggae legend Peter Tosh‘s family members totally sold him out — unloading a couple of treasured pieces of memorabilia to a pawn shop … TMZ has learned.
The late singer’s 1987 Grammy now belongs to Dylan McDermitt of LBC Pawn in Somerville, MA. McDermitt says a Tosh family member came into his store about 5 months ago, looking to unload the Grammy for Best Reggae Recording and one of Peter’s Martin acoustic guitars.
McDermitt jumped at the opportunity and snatched the Grammy for $4k and the guitar for $2k more. He hinted the relative — whose name he doesn’t want to reveal — was hocking the items due to a family battle over Tosh’s estate.
The OG Wailer did not have a will when was shot and killed in 1987.
If you’re interested in the Tosh gear — McDermitt estimates the guitar’s worth about $15k, and $20k for the Grammy … but it’s a pawn shop. Everything’s negotiable.
