Marley to be exhumed, buried in Ethiopia
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/01/12/marley.ethiopia.ap/index.html

The wife of reggae star Bob Marley said Wednesday that she plans to exhume his remains in Jamaica and rebury them in his "spiritual resting place," Ethiopia.

The reburial is set for an unspecified date after monthlong celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Marley's birth to be held next month in Ethiopia. Both the Ethiopian church and government officials have expressed support for the project, Rita Marley told The Associated Press.

"We are working on bringing his remains to Ethiopia," said Rita, a former backing singer for Marley's band, The Wailers. "It is part of Bob's own mission."

2. Wonder if he's still wearing Solomon's ring?
He supposedly got it from Haile Selassie's son when Haile Selassie died.

Then again, I wonder if it even WAS Solomon's ring...
