Remembering The Reggae Legend, Bob Marley Who Died 36 Years Ago At The Age Of 36 by irririchris(m): 11:24pm On May 11, 2017
We all know who Bob Marley was but let me give a little of his profile...
Full name- Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley
D.O.B- 6 February 1945
was a Jamaican singer-songwriter, musician, and guitarist, he started out in 1963 with the group the Wailers,After the Wailers disbanded in 1974,[4] Marley pursued a solo career upon his relocation to England that culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977.

In July 1977, Marley was found to have a type of malignant melanoma under the nail of a toe. Contrary to urban legend, this lesion was not primarily caused by an injury during a football match that year, but was instead a symptom of the already-existing cancer. Marley turned down his doctors' advice to have his toe amputated (which would have hindered his performing career), citing his religious beliefs, and instead the nail and nail bed were removed and a skin graft taken from his thigh to cover the area.[55][56][57] Despite his illness, he continued touring and was in the process of scheduling a world tour in 1980.

While Marley was flying home from Germany to Jamaica, his vital functions worsened. After landing in Miami, Florida, he was taken to the hospital for immediate medical attention. Marley died on 11 May 1981 at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (now University of Miami Hospital), aged 36. The spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life.

Died- 11 May 1981
