RIP B.B. King

He experienced a long good life, better than 99% of us ever will. RIP.

"The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you." - B. B. King
 
Damn...I knew it was coming...he's been pretty sick for quite a while, but still...quite a loss to the music world...and the world in general.
 
Wow. I saw this coming as he was in and out of hospitals and looking pretty bad last I saw a picture of him. Without a doubt a legend. He's been an influence for all the blues greats. Rip BB...
 
He had a HUGE influence on generations of guitarist & music in general. Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Angus Young, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Jimmy Paige and countless other musicians took a page out of the book of BB King. RIP to a true legend.

Saw it on a random feed as soon as I woke up. RIP BB. :rose;

Stevie, Clapton, Mayer, Gary Clark, the list goes on and on when it comes to The King and his sound. His music and influence will be around forever.
 
RIP.
Amazed me how long he toured. I was afraid of this when I heard he was in hospice.
Lucille sings no more.
 
Unfortunately its not that much of a surprise but still sad to see a legend go. I'm glad I got to see him play a couple of times

Same here. Saw it on my phone this morning before I turned the news on. Really sad, another legend gone.

I saw Clapton a few weeks ago for his '70th birthday jam' at MSG. He did a great version of Driftin and dedicated it to Ben E King who had recently passed. Clapton is now over in London at the RAH to continue that tour with a bunch of shows there. I believe the first show is tonight. It's going to be cool to see what Eric does to honor BB. He was like a father to him.
