 Jamaican Bob Marley

Nesta Robert Marley was born on the farm of his maternal grandfather in Nine Mile, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica, to Norval Sinclair Marley and Cedella Booker. Norval Marley was a European-Jamaican of British/Syrian descent whose family came from England. Norval was said to have been a captain in the Royal Marines, though at the time of his marriage to Cedella Booker, an African Jamaican then 18 years old, he was employed as a plantation overseer. 

Though Jamaican  Bob Marley was named Nesta Robert Marley, a Jamaican passport official would later reverse his first and middle names. Norval provided financial support for his wife and child but seldom saw them as he was often away. Bob Marley attended Stephaney Primary and Junior High School which serves the catchment area of Saint Ann. In 1955, when Bob Marley was 10 years old, his father died of a heart attack at the age of 70.

In 1966, Marley married Rita Anderson and moved near his mother's residence in Wilmington, Delaware in the United States for a short time, during which he worked as a DuPont lab assistant and on the assembly line at a Chrysler plant, under the alias Donald Marley.

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 already-existing cancer. Marley turned down his doctors' advice to have his toe amputated, citing his religious beliefs Despite his illness, he continued touring and was scheduling a world tour in 1980.

There are so many stories surrounding how he came to have cancer. Individuals that he was sprayed with some form of carcinogenic chemical at his most significant concert in Hyde Park because he had more followers there than the Catholic Pope  when he visited  at the time

Not so long an individual who was near death made a statement that he sent him beautiful name-brand sneakers and he had implanted in the toe a special pin or needle with a carcinogen that would affect Jamaica Bob Marley's toe.  Everyone would like to be great what better glory to exit this earth than tell people how great you were because you killed  Bob.
