    Wow — That is mostly true!I found the following on the Smooth Radio website:

    Marley died from an acral lentiginous melanoma, which is a form of skin cancer.

    He had been diagnosed in 1977, and it had spread from under a nail of his toe.

    He first discovered melanoma while playing football in 1977. A foot injury seemed worse than usual, and got worse over time. After doctors discovered it was cancer, he was advised to have his toe amputated.

    However, he refused as his Rastafarian faith considers it a sin to have any part of the body ‘temple’ removed. Instead, he agreed to a skin graft, but sadly this didn’t stop the disease from spreading throughout his body by 1980.

    I’ve been told that on the bottom of your foot is stamped an expiration date.
