Kelso emigrated to the United States in 1979.

The death of Junior Braithwaite in 1999 and the death of Cherry Smith in 2008 left Kelso and Bunny Wailer as the only surviving founding members of the Wailers.

In 2012 she stated that she was planning to write a book about her time in The Wailers. She now lives in Brooklyn, New York.
