Bob Marley's sons are on a multi-city tour to bring their late father's musical legacy of harmony and peace to life. The Marley Brothers: The Legacy Tour marks the first time in 20 years that Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Ky-Mani, and Damian have performed together. The 22-date tour, which started in Vancouver, will showcase 30 iconic songs like "No Woman, No Cry" and "Three Little Birds," and will wrap up in Miami in October.

"This was very important," Ziggy Marley said, emphasizing the collective commitment to honoring their father, who died from cancer in 1981 at age 36 and would have turned 80 in February 2025. Highlighting the familial collaboration, he added, "That's the big part of it—just being able to do this together. Time is moving." The brothers, who have individually won numerous Grammy Awards, have shared stages since childhood, blending their unique reggae styles to celebrate their father's enduring message. Stephen said the brothers plan to work on a fresh album together. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
