Bob Marley’s daughter and grandson on Wednesday visited an exhibition that opened in London telling the life story of the late Jamaican reggae singer. The “One Love Experience”, at London’s Saatchi Gallery for the next 10 weeks before heading on a multi-city tour, features memorabilia, photographs and personal items. These range from the original handwritten lyrics of “Turn Your Lights Down Low” to shoes Marley wore in the 1970s. Born in 1945 in the rural Jamaican town of Nine Mile, Marley became a global superstar with hits such as “No Woman, No Cry” and “One Love”. He died of melanoma cancer in 1981 aged 36. “The hope is to take the feeling of Bob Marley and the spirit of One Love,” said curator Jonathan Shank. Marley’s daughter Cedella, who helped curate the exhibition, said she was pleased with the interactivity, particularly in the room dedicated to Marley’s sport interests.
