In July 1977, Marley was found to have acral lentiginous melanoma, a form of malignant melanoma, in a football wound - according to widely held urban legend, inflicted by broadcaster and pundit Danny Baker[12] - on his right big toe. Marley refused amputation, because of the Rastafari belief that the body must be "whole."
Marley may have seen medical doctors as samfai (tricksters, deceivers). True to this belief Marley went against all surgical possibilities and sought out other means that would not break his religious beliefs. He also refused to register a will, based on the Rastafari belief that writing a will is acknowledging death as inevitable, thus disregarding the everlasting (or everliving, as Rastas say) character of life.
The cancer then metastasized to Marley's brain, lungs, liver, and stomach. After playing two shows at Madison Square Garden as part of his fall 1980 Uprising Tour, he collapsed while jogging in NYC's Central Park. The remainder of the tour was subsequently cancelled.
Bob Marley played his final concert at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 23, 1980. The live version of "Redemption Song" on Songs of Freedom was recorded at this show.[13] Marley afterwards sought medical help from Munich specialist Josef Issels, but his cancer had already progressed to the terminal stage.
While flying home from Germany to Jamaica for his final days, Marley became ill, and landed in Miami for immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, Florida on the morning of May 11, 1981 at the age of 36. The spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life." Marley received a state funeral in Jamaica on May 21, 1981 which combined elements of Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafari tradition. He was buried in a chapel near his birthplace with his Gibson Les Paul and a Bible. A month before his death, he was awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit.
Marley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Time magazine chose Bob Marley & The Wailers' Exodus as the greatest album of the 20th century.
In 2001, Marley was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and a feature-length documentary about his life, Rebel Music, won various awards at the Grammys. With contributions from Rita, the Wailers, and Marley's lovers and children, it also tells much of the story in his own words.
In 2006, the State of New York renamed a portion of Church Avenue from Remsen Avenue to East 98th Street in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn "Bob Marley Boulevard".

*ღ* FOREVER MY ANGEL..*ღ*
FOREVER YOU WILL BE MY ANGEL THAT I LOVE AND ADORE
ONE DAY I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOU WHEN I KNOCK ON HEAVENS DOOR
UNTIL MY TIME ON EARTH HAS COME TO A END
KISSES AND LOVE TO HEAVEN I WILL SEND
*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*
FORGIVE ME FOR ALL THE TEARS THAT FLOW
I HURT INSIDE MORE THAN OTHERS WILL EVER KNOW
I TRY TO HIDE THE WAY THAT I FEEL FROM THE WORLD OUTSIDE
WHEN YOU WENT SO FAR AWAY PART OF MYSELF ALSO DIED
*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*ღ*
BUT I GO ON LIVING UNTIL IT IS MY TIME TO GO
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU I NEED TO LET IT SHOW
NOT HIDE BEHIND MY TEARS AND MY BROKEN HEART
BOTH ME AND MY ANGEL ARE TWO WORLDS APART.......
