Bob Marley’s Illness And Death

 

“” In July 1977, Marley had to cancel a promotional tour for Exodus album in America causing the album to fail to make the impact expected. The official explanation stated that Bob Marley had injured his foot playing football. But that excuse had a more sinister truth. He had injured his foot in Paris at the start of his European tour playing football and his toenail had come off. He was under intense pain and consulted a specialist’s advice. Cancer cells were detected and he was advised that his infected toe should be amputated. Marley refused however stating that it would be contrary to the Rastafarian belief that a man “should not dismantle his body” Despite his illness, he continued touring and was in the process of scheduling a world tour in 1980.

The album Uprising was released in May 1980. The band completed a major tour of Europe, where it played its biggest concert to 100,000 people in Milan. After the tour, Marley went to the United States, where he performed two shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of the Uprising Tour

Marley’s last concert occurred at the Stanley Theater (now called The Benedum Center For The Performing Arts) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 23 September 1980. Just two days earlier he had collapsed whilst jogging in Central Park and was taken to hospital where he learned that his cancer had spread to his brain.

The only known photographs from the show were featured in Kevin Macdonald’s documentary film Marley.

 

 

 

Marley’s health deteriorated as his cancer had spread throughout his body. The rest of the tour was canceled and Marley went for treatment at the Bavarian clinic of Josef Issels, where he received an alternative cancer treatment called Issels treatment this is partly based on avoidance of certain foods, drinks, and other substances. After eight months of the treatment failing to halt his advancing cancer Marley decided to go home to Jamaica.

While Marley was flying home from Germany to Jamaica, his condition worsened. After landing in Miami, Florida, he was taken to hospital for immediate medical attention. Marley died on 11 May 1981 at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (now University of Miami Hospital), aged 36. The spread of cancer to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were “Money can’t buy life.”

On the 21st May 1981, Marley’s funeral took place in Jamaica’s national arena. The whole of Jamaica was in mourning and his funeral cortege traveled across Jamaica to his birthplace Nine Miles where his body was placed in a simple chapel of rest.

On 21 May 1981, Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga delivered the final funeral eulogy to Marley, declaring:

His voice was an omnipresent cry in our electronic world. His sharp features, majestic looks, and prancing style a vivid etching on the landscape of our minds. Bob Marley was never seen. He was an experience which left an indelible imprint with each encounter. Such a man cannot be erased from the mind. He is part of the collective consciousness of the nation.””
