The Hon. Robert Nesta Marley O.M. departed from this worldly realm on 11th May 1981. He was reportedly en route to Jamaica but lost his 8-month battle with cancer at age 36 while in Miami. Pieces from various stages of Bob Marley’s Life in Jamaica can be found around the island — from former homes to favourite swimming spots. In addition to Jamaican music history tours and streets in Kingston, there are a number of sites on the island reputed to mark significant chapters in his life.
