By far the biggest reggae star, founding member of the Wailers, Bob Marley became a real threat because he got an immense popularity and also popularised other reggae artists and Rastafarai.

In1976 Marley was shot, the shooters were never found. A week after the shooting Marley received boots from Carl Colby (son of CIA-director William Colby), which wounded his toe.
On September 23, 1980 in Pittsburgh (USA) Marley collapsed while running, now they said that cancer of his toe in 1976 caused a brain tumour. If this were true Marley couldn’t have continued to work hard before collapsing.

Marley left for Germany, where the “alternative” therapy of Dr. Issels was nothing less than torture. Issels starved Marley and gave him injections with enormous needles. In May 1981 Marley left by plane to Jamaica: on 11 May 1981 he died in the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (also in the USA):
