Ziggy Marley Pens Heartfelt Tribute To His Late Father Bob Marley On What Would Have Been His 76th Birthday

On what would have been Bob Marley’s 76th birthday, many of his fans, friends, and family members paid their respects to the late legend by sharing meaningful tributes on social media on Saturday, February 6.

One of them was the late legend’s oldest son, Ziggy Marley. He shared a rare throwback photo from Bob’s birthday party in 1979 via Instagram on Saturday.

In the caption, the 52-year-old musician penned down an emotional tribute in honor of his late father’s birthday and told the story of this black-white photo.

“As we celebrate @bobmarley 76th birthday today, someone asked me what I miss about him the most. I said I miss his smell. 🙂
