Countries all around the world are hosting events to celebrate the life and work of Robert Nesta Marley. (Well, he was actually called Nesta Robert Marley but a Jamacain passport official swapped the names around when he was very young!)
Starting out in 1963 with the group The Wailers, Marley established a distinctive vocal style that would resonate throughout history. He embarked on his solo career in 1974 after he split from the Wailers and his 1977 album Exodus established his reputation as a global icon. He was to become the world’s best-selling artist of all time.

In July 1977 he was found to have a malignant melanoma under the nail of his toe, originating from an accident when playing football. His last words to his son Ziggy were: “Money can’t buy life.”
