Rohan Marley: Bob's Rebel Son
Bob Marley's son Rohan on his famous dad, playing American football, and Rastafarianism.
Rohan Marley grew up in the shadow of a star: his father, reggae legend Bob Marley. When Bob died from cancer in 1981, Rohan went off the rails. He ended up skipping school and was eventually expelled. He got his life back on track and went on to become a star in American football. After embracing Rastafarianism, he left sport and ended up starting a coffee company in his native Jamaica.
