1.Bob Marley
Bob Marley is a legend with music that will live on forever, but the singer died when he was only 36 because of a brain tumor. Cancer spread to his brain and other organs from a type of cancer known as acral lentiginous melanoma. When a lot of people hear the phrase “melanoma,” they think of sunburn, but this type of melanoma is very different. It is found on the soles of feet, the palms of hands, and under nails. Bob Marley hurt his toe during a soccer game. the wound did not heal, and the toe became cancerous. The singer was advised to get the toe amputated many times and he refused to do so because of religious beliefs that had to do with “not cutting the flesh”. This whole story is very sad because a great life was cut short and it seems like his untimely death could have been easily prevented.
