BB King on stage in Toronto


Real name Riley B. King, he was admitted to hospital sometimes last month for diabetes-related ailments, and was later discharged when he stood firm on at- home hospice care as opposed to being in the hospital.

B.B King was an American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist (self taught). He was named BB from being nicknamed ‘Beale Street Blues Boy’. His velvety voice and staccato-picking style brought blues from the margins to the mainstream.
