Did Bob Marley get shot

Answer 1

Bob Marley died in 1981, officially due to malignant melanoma, a dangerous type of cancer that was found on his big toe. Some believe it was from a copper wire that was in a pair of boots given to him by a CIA agents son at a concert, which poked him in the big toe, and he hurt it more while playing soccer.

he died on May 11, 1981 at the age of 36

However, 5 years earlier (December 5, 1976) at a concert in Jamaica, Bob, his wife and manager were all shot by an unidentified gunman. They all survived the attack.

The concert was billed as a peace rally to quell growing political violence in the run-up to the country's national elections, but was viewed by many as a political rally by the sitting government. Bob was therefore accused of taking sides and is believed to have been attacked by gunmen aligned with the government's main political opponents.

No he developed cancer in his toe and died of it in 1981 . If you want a really good source of info then you should read the book "The Untold Story Bob Marley" by Chris Salewicz. it provides a lot of good information.

Why do you people keep saying he did not get shot? Bob Marley, as well as his wife and manager were all shot in an assassination attempt on Bob. He did not die from this, he died of cancer, but he did in fact get shot.

Answer 4

Bob Marley was not shot, he died on march 11th from cancer and his wife Rita Marley is still alive. Where ever you people get your info you need to stop getting it from there in read a reliable source like a book where i get all my info.

I believe Bob Marley was shot at in his home before a concert at Kingston's National Heroes Park on December 5, 1976. No one was killed and he went on and performed the concert two day later.

In 1976, just two days before a scheduled free concert that Marley and the then Jamaican PM Michael Manley had organized, Marley, his wife Rita and manager Don Taylor, were shot inside the star's 56 Hope Road home. Marley received minor injuries in the arm and chest. Don Taylor took most of the bullets in his legs and torso as he accidentally walked in the line of fire. He was registered in serious condition after he was rushed to the hospital but fully recovered later. Rita also recovered of the head wound she received that night. It is generally believed that this shooting was politically motivated. Jamaican politics being somewhat violent at the time, especially when close to elections time as it was then. The concert was seen as being in support of the progressive prime minister of Jamaica, Michael Manley. It is widely held that he was shot by supporters of the conservative political party of Jamaica, the Jamaica Labour Party. However, there is little evidence to support this. Though the police never caught the gunmen, Marley devotees later 'caught up' with them on the streets of Kingston.
