Ziggy Marley recalls dad Bob Marley's last words to him before his death 
NBC News TV 10 Boston; by Randi Richardson; 2/28/24, updated 2/29/24 
Ziggy Marley was 12 years old when his father, Bob Marley, died, and he cherishes their last memory together. ... He recalled being in his dad's intensive care hospital room a few days before the singer died from malignant melanoma. "I was, like, peeping through the window," Ziggy Marley, now 55, said. "And he was like, 'Come here.' So, I went in, and he was like, 'Hey ... well, young Bob, I have a song for you.' And he said these words: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don’t let me down.'"
