Bob Marley last words, “Money can’t buy life.” Bob Marley was the lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the reggae band Bob Marley & The Wailers. Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music. He is credited with helping spread Jamaican music to a worldwide audience. In July 1977, while seeking treatment for an injury sustained during a friendly football match, Marley was found to have acral lentiginous melanoma, a form of malignant melanoma. He declined amputation of his toe and the melanoma eventually spread to his lungs and brain. Bob Marley died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami on the morning of May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. His final words were spoken to his son Ziggy. They were, “Money can’t buy life.” The compilation album, Legend (1984), released three years after Marley’s death, is reggae’s best-selling album and has sold 20 million copies worldwide.
