I was curious how Marley died and saw this on his Wikipedia page:

On 21 September 1980, Marley collapsed while jogging in Central Park and was taken to the hospital, where it was found that his cancer had spread to his brain, lungs, and liver. Marley's last concert took place two days later at the Stanley Theater (now The Benedum Center For The Performing Arts) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The show must go on. Nuff respect.

Sadly he might have stopped his cancer from spreading if he would have allowed his toes to be amputated.

exactly. rastafari has quite a lot of pretty fucking stupid elements to it. not to mention how bigoted and hateful it is to queer people and women.

which sucks cuz there's so much positivity and optimism and love in Bob Marley's music especially. such a shame he didn't actually embody so much of it
