Bob Marley's widow plans to rebury his remains in Ethiopia01/18/2005
Government and church officials in Ethiopia have supported the project. At the same time, the news has shocked the Jamaica Tourism Commission, as Marley's tomb attracts thousands of tourists each year, bringing in large amounts of revenue for the country. "We are aware of these rumours, however the Bob Marley Foundation has stated that discussions are ongoing and no decision has been made," a spokesman for the Jamaica Tourism Commission said. A representative of the Bob Marley Foundation noted that the widow has the right to move his body wherever she wants, but the Foundation does not have any specific information. In 1991, the Jamaican government made February 6 - Bob Marley's birthday - a national holiday, and every year on this day a large concert is held on the stage behind his mausoleum. Rita Marley said her husband would be reburied in the town of Shashemene, 250km south of Addis Ababa, where several hundred Rastafarians live. Marley was a devout Rasta, a faith that preaches unity with nature. Rastafarians wear long dreadlocks and smoke marijuana in large quantities, believing it helps people understand each other better.
As The Times notes, Marley was partly a victim of his faith. In July 1977, the musician developed a wound on the big toe of his right foot. It was later discovered that he was suffering from skin cancer. He was advised to have the toe amputated, but he refused because "Rastas" consider doctors to be frauds. As a result, the cancer metastasized to the brain and lungs.
Bob Marley died in a Miami hospital on March 11, 1981, at the age of 36. His body was transported to Jamaica, and a mausoleum was built a few feet from the house where he was born. news.samaratoday.ru

The musician's widow, Rita Marley, a former backing vocalist for The Wailers, said Ethiopia is her husband's spiritual grave. "We are working to move his remains to Ethiopia. This is part of Bob's own mission. Bob's whole life was dedicated to Africa, not Jamaica. How can you exchange a continent for an island? He has the right to be buried where he wanted." , - she said.
