The wife of reggae legend Bob Marley said Wednesday she plans to exhume his remains in Jamaica and rebury them in Ethiopia, his “spiritual resting place.”
No date has been set for the reburial, but it will be after February, when monthlong celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Marley’s birth are planned in Ethiopia. Ethiopian church and government officials support the project, Rita Marley said.
Bob Marley, who was born in 1945 in rural St. Ann parish in Jamaica, died of cancer in Miami in 1981 at age 36.
