BOB MARLEY - MARLEY: THE MUSICAL

MARLEY: THE MUSICAL

The songs of BOB MARLEY are to be transformed to the London West End stage in a musical of the late reggae star's life. Actor/playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah will use Marley's hits, such as I Shot The Sheriff and No Woman No Cry, to inspire the script. Chris Blackwell, founder of Marley's music label Island Records, will produce. Marley died in May 1981 at the age of 36 after refusing medical treatment for cancer.
