Greetings in the name of the Most High.
Today Rastas and reggae lovers all over the world are remembering the late
reggae legend, song writer, activist
and inspirer Hon. Nesta Marley popularly know as "Bob Marley". He was the one who popularize reggae music and a disciple of Rastafarianism. Bob Marley who died of cancer in
a Miami hospital, US, on May 11, 1981. He was
only 36 years. May 11 is now globally recognized
as Bob Marley’s Day. A day observed by playing
only the songs of the reggae maestro and
showcasing the rastafarian root culture.
To show a rekindled rastafarians, and reggae loving spirit all over the world, people are expected to play Bob Marley music and to also wearing rasta attires and march through major
streets of the city preaching the message of Haile
Selassie I who they call Jah.
Most rastafarians see Haile Selassie I as Jah or
Jah Rastafari, an incarnation of God the Father.
Bob Marley died of malignant melanoma, a
dangerous type of cancer that was found on his
toe in May 11, 1981. His physician, it was learnt,
recommended amputating the toe to stop the
spread of the cancer but Marley refused due to
his strong Rastafarian belief that no part of body
should be cut off including the hair and beard.
A Bible verse that Rastafarians hold as very
important is Leviticus 21:5 – “They shall not
make baldness upon their head, neither shall they
shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any
cuttings in the flesh.” Bob Marley eventually allow
for a skin graft in place of a full amputation. It
seemed ineffective or simply too late.
By the late summer of 1980, the cancer had
spread throughout his body. While he was in New
York City performing, Marley collapsed during a
jog through Central Park. He performed for the
last time in September of 1980 in Pittsburgh, a
performance that was remastered and released in
February of 2011 as Bob Marley and the Wailers
Live Forever.
Intending to fly home to Jamaica, he became
even sicker while in transit, and the plane stopped
over in Miami, where he died on May 11, 1981.
According to some reports, his final words were
spoken to his son Ziggy Marley “Money can’t buy
life.” So in the loving memory of Bob Marley, let us join our heart together to mark his remembrance.
Respect to Bob Marley
One love.
As for me you( Bob Marley) will forever live in my heart.
