Summary: Probably one of the primary pioneers in Reggae music, Bob Marley
is one of the most popular artists ever. His music, inspired by his belief in
Rastafarian culture, is laden with his experiences of political repression,
gangland warfare and deep insights in the Jamaican Culture. Before his death, he
led the biggest tour in
Europe
in the 1980's, and gained support from all nationalities. Unfortunately Bob
Marley's life was cut short when the cancer in his foot spread to the rest of
his body after his refusal to amputate his big toe due to his Rastafarian
beliefs. He died
May 11, 1981 at the age of 36 when the cancer spread to his
brain, lungs and heart.
