Today in History ! October 08, October 8, 1980 Bob Marley collapses on stage, brought to Sloan-Kettering Hospital Marley performs his last concert at Pittsburgh, where he collapsed onstage and was brought to Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York City. Cancer was discovered in his toe years before and had spread throughout his body, weakening his physical state. Due to his religious beliefs, he had chosen not to have his cancerous toe amputated. Sloan-Kettering Hospital misdiagnosed Marley, and the cancer itself reached a terminal stage. Marley later died because of it in 1981, on route to Jamaica. Note: It is questionable as to whether his last concert was on Oct 8 or Sept 23. Both dates are reported as his "last."
