The Formation of the BandIn 1974 Tosh and Livingstone left the Wailers to start solo careers and so Marley formed the band Bob Marley and the Wailers with his wife Rita as one of three backup singers called the I-Trees.12/9/2013Camilla Quartullo4

The MelanomaIn 1976, during a period of spiraling political violence in Jamaica, an attempt was made on Marley's life. Marley left for England, where he lived in self-exile for two years.

In 1977 Marley consulted with a doctor when a wound in his big toe would not heal. More tests revealed malignant melanoma. He refused to have his toe amputated as his doctors recommended, claiming it contradicted his Rastafarian beliefs. Others, however, claim that the main reason behind his refusal was the possible negative impact on his dancing skills. The cancer was kept secret from the general public while Bob continued working.
