Reggae icon Toots Hibbert is in critical but stable condition a week after first entering hospital for medical care.

Hibbert remains in a medically-induced coma in the intensive care unit at the University Hospital of the West Indies where he was transferred last Monday.
Previously, the Toots and the Maytals lead singer at a private medical facility in Kingston and St Andrew where he was admitted for respiratory issues last weekend.
The singer’s wife, Doreen, in a statement to the Jamaica Observer, said her husband is “very strong”. She continued, “I know he will pull through. He is a fighter.
