'Each year, we honor his legacy in a way that unites our extended family, friends, and fans from all corners of the globe. This 80th milestone is a reminder of his timeless call for love, resilience, and freedom.' The 80th birthday celebrations will also include a worldwide singalong of Marley classics, presented by the Bob Marley Foundation and stationed at Manchester, England's Co-op Live Arena. This will feature the 8,000-person Young Voices choir, with that group sharing the performance live over their YouTube channel. 'I know Daddy would have a huge smile on his face and be so proud to know that his words of freedom, love, and unity would be sung by so many beautiful young souls around the world over 50 years after he wrote them,' Cedella Marley added. 'It's a huge testament to the power of his music that his songs resonate stronger than ever and with each new generation. My father's songs speak universal truths and that is why they sound as convincing coming out of the mouths of children as they did when he himself recorded and performed them.'
