When Toots Hibbert plays with the Maytals next Friday night at Virginia’s Lockn’ Festival, it will be the first time the reggae legend has performed in the state since 2013, since he was hit in the head with a vodka bottle during a concert in Richmond, and suffered serious physical and emotional damage. Toots tells Rolling Stone “It was a horrible thing,” . “I suffered a lot.” Toots retreated from touring for three full years — the longest break he’s ever taken from performing — to recover as the lawsuit winded through court.
