On May 11 1981, at just 36 years of age, reggae icon Bob Marley died of cancer, leaving behind an indelible musical and activist legacy.
44 years later, his name and message still resonate around the world. Born in Jamaica in 1945, Marley transcended cultural and social boundaries with his songs of hope and revolt.
His commitment to national unity and justice has made him a universal figure. From "No Woman No Cry" to "One Love", his anthems continue to inspire millions, while his children, like Ziggy Marley, carry on his artistic legacy.
On this May 11, 2025, the spirit of Bob Marley, spiritual guide and revolutionary artist, lives on in the hearts of his admirers.
