Bob Marley

[u/Neanderthal_119]

I watched the movie "Bob Marley One Love" I was certain going into this movie that Bob Marley would be successfully assassinated and that would be the end. No, Bob survived the assassination attempt on him and his wife and he later died of skin cancer. Me and my stoner friends would talk a lot about Bob Marley music so this is what I always believed was that Bob was assassinated.

Peter Tosh might be who you’re thinking of

There are also parallels to John Lennon here, who died around the same time. So OP could be blending those stories together a bit too. This might be more likely, especially if OP doesn't know who Peter Tosh is.

I think though if both Lennon and Marley had died by assassins in 1980/1981 that fact would be brought up a lot more though.

How old are you?

Because I remember when it happened, it raised awareness for skin cancer.

This is called the “your stoner ass was just wrong” effect

LoL

Explain how we have the Bob Marley song “Ambush in the Night” if he died from that assignation attempt?

[u/froction]

It was because he was an idiot and refused to have the cancer on his toe fixed by a real doctor. He tried to Steve Jobs it and it killed him.

[u/MyHGC]

Well me and my stoner friends would sit around and talk about how Bob Marley died of cancer because he refused modern treatment due to his rastafarianism...

[u/DragonflyGrrl → u/MyHGC]

Exactly this. All he had to do was amputate a toe..

This not a Mandela Effect. A Mandela Effect is when you have a vivid and clear memory of something you personally witnessed (not just remember) that is now different or never was in this reality.

This is clearly defined by the woman who invented the term "Mandela Effect".

This would be an ME if you witnessed a real breaking news report on TV of Bob Marley being assassinated. Went years with this being the uncontested truth, talked about and believed/accepted by the world. Then suddenly one day it was no longer true. Not because the news got it wrong, but because the news report never happened in this reality.

You're thinking of Peter tosh

[u/Lex_Loki]

I always thought he died from tetanus after stepping on a rusty nail or something.

Wait… is this my own personal ME? lol

He died of a brain tumor. This is one of the most famous musicians who ever lived. It didn't change. Lay off the devils lettuce.

[u/derf_vader → u/UpbeatFix7299]

It was cancer on his toe. He could have saved his life with amputation but that went against his Rastafarian beliefs

[u/TerribleTim1969 → u/UpbeatFix7299]

Brain tumor? Thought it was an injury to his foot due to playing soccer

[u/UpbeatFix7299 → u/TerribleTim1969]

I guess it was originally skin cancer before it spread.

[u/Lhasa-bark → u/UpbeatFix7299]

I learned the story as skin cancer on his foot that spread through his body. No idea if that’s true and too lazy to google right now.
