I just heard that they took him to the hospital last night. I guess he was dehydrated so he was carted in, and had a mild heart attack after he got there. Hope he makes it out alright. ----------
Oh jeez, hope he's okay. I saw him on his 81st(?) birthday and he said they used to play gigs all over the country and world for 330 nights a year! But he said "I'm 81 now, so we have cut that down so I can keep up.....we are only doing about 270 nights a year these days..."
!!! what a legend, haha. Really hope for the best.
His Facebook page announced this morning that he's in home hospice care at his residence in Las Vegas. ---------- Ted Burke __________________ ted-burke.com tburke4@san.rr.com
The last of the greats. And the best ambassador the blues has ever had
"Blues legend B.B. King is battling health problems, with a message on his website saying the 89-year-old musician is in "home hospice care."
King was admitted to a Las Vegas hospital Thursday afternoon, CNN affiliate KLAS reported, because his daughter, Patty King, said he wasn't eating and was dehydrated.
Tests showed King may have had a minor heart attack, she told KLAS. He was released and went home.
A message posted Friday on his website said: "I am in home hospice care at my residence in Las Vegas. Thanks to all for your well wishes and prayers."
