LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob Marley’s musical legacy of harmony and serenity has hit the road, together with his sons carrying on their late father’s timeless message during a multi-city tour.

Following in the footsteps of the reggae giant are his five sons – Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Ky-Mani and Damian – as Marley Brothers: Legacy TourThis is the primary time in 20 years that the siblings have toured together.

Marley’s sons are paying tribute to his work by performing some 30 of their father’s songs, including big hits like “No Woman, No Cry,” “Could You Be Loved,” “Is This Love” and “Three Little Birds.” The 22-date tour kicked off in Vancouver and can wrap up in Miami in early October.

“It was very important,” Ziggy said of the tour, as his brothers Stephen and Julian sat next to him after a recent rehearsal in Los Angeles. The multiple Grammy winner said it was necessary to find time for the 2 of them in their busy schedules to pay tribute to their father, who would have turned 80 in February 2025.

“When the opportunity comes, we can come together and cherish it and appreciate it,” he continued. “That’s the most important part — just being able to do it together. Time flies.”

The Marley brothers have their very own reggae sounds, but they’ve found a method to mix all of them. They’ve been performing together since they were kids, including last yr at Red Rocks in Colorado. Two or three have appeared on stage at other shows, like when Damian and Stephen performed on the Hollywood Bowl last month.

Julian said years of collaboration have created a deep musical synergy between his siblings — a natural extension of their shared heritage.

“His message transcends barriers. It breaks barriers,” Julian said. “No matter what country you go to, people need the same message. That’s why it’s so eternal. It never ends. That’s why we’re here and we’re on this mission.”

Marley rose from the tough slums of Trench Town in Kingston, Jamaica, and rose to superstardom in the Seventies with hits reminiscent of “Get Up, Stand Up” and “I Shot the Sheriff.” His lyrics promoting social justice and African unity made him a worldwide icon before he died of cancer in 1981 at age 36.

However, Marley’s legacy has lived on in many projects, including an enticing exhibition in New York and his biographical film “Bob Marley: One Love”, which (*2*)debuted in first place on the box office in February.

On Sunday, the brothers were presented with a proclamation declaring September 22 as “Marley Brothers Day” in the New York City borough of Queens.

His sons have continued their father’s legacy while forging their very own paths to success, reminiscent of Julian, who picked up his first Grammy in February.

Ziggy and Stephen have won eight Grammy Awards each; Damian has taken home five trophies, and Ky-Mani has received a nomination.

Stephen said that in addition to the tour, they need to work on a brand new album together and promote their father’s positive message. He said it should take a while, but they hope to do it “in the near future.”

“The message in the music is what it’s really about,” said Stephen, who prepared the set list for the tour. “For me, that message is so needed right now. Our father is one of the powerful ones who gave that message. That’s why we’re here.”

Holker was seen with her new boyfriend, Entrata CEO Adam Edmunds, on the Alice and Olivia fashion show during New York Fashion Week 2024 on September 7.

The public debut comes just every week after their “soft launch” on social media. Holker previously hinted on the new relationship in August with a cryptic Instagram post.

She posted a photograph of a shadow of a lady and a shadow of a man holding hands. The caption under the photo was simply a red heart emoji. But navigating life after losing the daddy of her children hasn’t been easy.

“It’s a new experience for me to deal with it and it took me a long time to (feel ready). I didn’t know if I would ever get into a situation like that again,” Holker said People about dating Edmunds.

The 36-year-old dancer continued: “I’ll say this: I’m incredibly happy. I feel supported, seen, understood and completely loved. And I’m really, really grateful for that.”

Allison Holker’s statements have sparked discussion online. Some commentators in Instagram section for people he had an issue with her leaving tWitch lower than two years after his death.

“Well, that didn’t last long,” one comment read, but one other replied, “Almost 2 years? Really?”

Additionally, one person asked, “Do you feel safe, heard, and understood?? So this wasn’t the case before??” Another person added, “I don’t trust this! Something is wrong!”

An Instagram user expressed that Holker and Edmunds’ relationship seems unusual, writing, “Something’s not right.” Another replied, “I’VE ALREADY SAID THAT!”

However, Holker also received positive feedback from fans. For example, one fan wrote, “Allison, you deserve everything in life. Congrats on your newfound love and happiness.”

Allison Holker also spoke about her late husband People and struggled with his departure

“I used to sit in the pool or the hot tub and talk to Stephen all the time (after his death). I was angry with him, happy for him or just reminiscing,” she said.

Born in Utah, also he stated“One night, when I was so angry, I forgave him and thought that there were so many people who were probably waiting for this moment that I had just experienced.”

Holker is about to release her memoir, “This Far,” on February 4, 2025. The book is about to feature Holker’s reflections on her life over the past two years.

Russell Wilson reminds fans that he’s a family man before everything. However, fans online imagine that he may be quite “petty” when it comes to his family members.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback posted a photograph of himself on the sector surrounded by all 4 of his and his wife Ciara’s children.

In the September 20 photo, Wilson stands holding his 9-month-old daughter, Amora, while his hand rests on the shoulder of the singer’s oldest son, Future.

In the front right was their son Win, smiling extra wide, while their daughter Sienna stood to Future’s left. Ciara, Wilson’s wife of eight years and mother of his children, was nowhere to be seen within the photos. So he made sure to include her within the caption.

He wrote a passage of Scripture saying, “John 4:19 We love because God first loved us. @Ciara.”

The photo drew fans, who showed the Wilson family a ton of love for the cute snap. Many praised Wilson for being a fantastic example of what an actual father is — even to his stepson Future, whose biological father is three-time Grammy Award-winning rapper Future.

Messier fans couldn’t help but be skeptical about Wilson’s intentions and the timing of the photo.

The “Stick Talk” artist released a mixtape album titled “Mixtape Pluto” on September 20, the identical day Wilson shared a photograph on his Instagram and Twitter accounts. The 17-track project is the primary mixtape Future has released in eight years.

Suspicious fans joked that Wilson’s photo was posted to overshadow Future’s latest album.

One person he said“Dropping it the day Future dropped it, that’s a dirty job, playboy” and one other he wrote“Posting this the day Future dropped a mixtape. My type of nitpicking lmao.”

Third fan he wrote“The future mixtape is gonna be crazy!!!! but it’ll never blow up bigger than this,” while one offended person said, “So f***ing corny, oh my god Ciara there’s no way you’d swap Supa Fu for this!”

Someone else even suggested that Wilson’s photo could have worked to Future’s advantage.

“This random post on my TL reminded me to check out Future’s new album. It’s amazing how indirect advertising can work.”

Ciara’s exes have apparently began taking potshots at one another, with Future rapping about his ex’s husband in his lyrics, and Wilson continuing to share posts in regards to the rapper’s son online. Some would even say Wilson was mocking Future for never being seen together with his son.

Before dating Ciara in 2015, Wilson was previously married to Ashton Meem. According to TMZ, that they had known one another since highschool, but married in 2012 after dating in college. After just two years of marriage, Wilson and Meem ended their relationship. About a yr later, he met Ciara, they began dating, and the remainder is history.

Unlike her current husband, Ciara has never been married before, but was supposed to be Mrs. Future, born Nayvadius DeMun Cash. The Atlanta natives began dating in 2012 and even got engaged before splitting in 2014 amid accusations of Future’s infidelity.

Since their relationship ended, Future has publicly dated only just a few women, most notably rapper Dess Dior and Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter, Lori Harvey. He currently has nine children with nine different women.
