On this day May 11, 1981, the world lost a musical legend when Bob Marley passed away at the age of 36 from complications related to skin cancer. As the voice of reggae, Marley brought Jamaican music and Rastafarian culture to a global stage, spreading messages of peace, resistance, and unity.
He was regarded as the pioneer of reggae and one of the most influential musicians of all time, with timeless songs like Redemption Song, One Love, and No Woman No Cry. His music became a global force for change and spiritual empowerment.
Fun fact: While his official cause of death was cancer, conspiracy theories have long swirled around the circumstances of his illness, with some speculating political motives due to his outspoken activism and growing influence.
