axlslash Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 BB King's official facebook page posted this afternoon that he is in home hospice care after a diabetic episode and heart attack last month, and after a couple of years of visibly declining physical and cognitive health. I got to see King several years back, and though he didn't play all that much and clearly wasn't all there, it was an honor to breathe the same air and share the same room with him for an hour or two. The man is a legend, and I'll be praying for a miracle... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thank God I saw this man a couple of years ago at the House of Blues. Almost didn't go. So glad I did now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Trivia: BB is related to old blues champ Bukka White. For a point of reference Dylan covers him on his debut, in case you're not familiar. Champion bluesman was ol' Bukka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well that sucks. I hope in his last days he doesn't suffer too much. I wish him peace and hopefully he'll go to a better place, but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
