25 Years ago Bob Marley died from cancer. He had cancer in his toe but he didnt wanted to amputate his toe because of his rastafari religion. He died in miami. His last words were to his son Ziggy: ''Money can't buy life''.
Still to this day people are mourning the death of bob marley. In holland theres is a tribute concert tonight in the memory of Bob Marley.
Pay your respect to this great musician.

i remember seeing a Bob Marley documentary where they said he died of throat cancer(that´s why i said toe cancer ???). and it wouldn´t surprise me coz people that smoke too much weed usually ends up with throat cancer especially if you´re smoking blunts. R.I.P.

i got it wrong. He had skincancer and it spread from there.
n July 1977, Marley was found to have a wound on his right big toe, which he thought was from a football (soccer) injury. Urban legends have since told that it was the British television personality Danny Baker who had caused the injury during a celebrity football match. The wound would not completely heal, and his toenail later fell off during a football game. It was then that the correct diagnosis was made. Marley actually had a form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, which grew under his toenail.
Marley was advised to get his toe amputated, but he refused because of his Rastafarian beliefs that the body must be whole, that to have an amputation would be a sin, that his faith would ensure him living forever regardless of the cancer and because he saw medical doctors as samfai, confidence men who cheat the gullible by pretending to have the power of witchcraft. He also was concerned about the impact the operation would have on his dancing. Still, Marley based this refusal primarily on his Rastafarian beliefs, saying, "Rasta no abide amputation. I don't allow a mon ta be dismantled." (Catch a Fire, Timothy White) He did agree to undergo some minor surgery to try to excise the cancer, which was kept secret from the wider public.
