Ky-Mani defends book about dad

Ky-Mani defends his decision to publish a controversial book about Bob Marley.

London: Ky-Mani Marley, son of late reggae legend Bob Marley, has defended his decision to publish a controversial book about his late father.Ky-Mani Marley tried to delay the release of "Dear Dad: Where`s the Family In Our Family, Today?" after realising it could upset his relatives, but the book hit shelves last month to mark what would have been his father`s 65th birthday, reports dailyexpress.co.uk.
The book`s cover boasts that it contains the "story the Marley family apparently didn`t want you to know". But Ky-Mani Marley took issue with his publishing firm over the claim and his editor Farrah Gray agreed to pull the tagline off the book`s second edition. Marley has now spoken out about the controversy surrounding the expose. "The book was not an attack on my family. I love my brothers and sisters more than anyone can know," he wrote on his MySpace page. IANS
