Bob Marley died in 1981, officially due to malignant Meloma a dangerous type of cancer that was found on his toe. It's not quite as simple as it sounds, though.
Reggae legend Bob Marley first discovered that something was wrong in 1977 when he injured his foot while playing soccer with some friends. The wound seemed pretty extreme for a simple soccer injury, and when it got worse instead of healing, he decided to see a doctor. Marley was diagnosed with melanoma, and an amputation of the toe was recommended.
And he refused amputation because he believed that it was a sin. His condition got worse and worse. But before he died he was still able to make a performance. To know more about how he died, you could find it here.
