Earlier this month (July 19), Ziggy held a livestream concert today (July 19), during which he played a number of Bob Marleyâs classic songs.
The online gig was the latest event to be held by the Marley family to celebrate the reggae iconâs 75th birthday. The musician would have celebrated the milestone on February 6, 2020.
Ziggy performed tracks including âOne Loveâ and âGet Up, Stand Upâ during the hour-long performance, which was held in accordance with social distancing regulations. The musicians involved could be seen wearing face masks, while transparent partitions were placed between each member.
Other songs played in the livestream include âRedemption Songâ, âComing In From The Coldâ, and âTop Rankinââ.
Meanwhile, a Bob Marley musical is set to arrive in London next year. Get Up, Stand Up! will debut at Londonâs Lyric Theatre from February 6, 2021, on what would have been the seminal musicianâs 76th birthday.
