The L.A. Times is reporting the B.B. King has been hospitalized. No other info released. All of our prayers for a speedy recovery.
The world is crazy enough already, can't imagine it without BB.
Realize this should probably come other "other artists", but there is just 1 BB King and he was there at the beginning of Joe. Get well soon "Riely" we need you.
Having him still playing gigs at his age is ridicolous. Same with other artists like Chuck Berry. Let them rest and live the rest of their lifes in peace!
He went or was taken to the hospital sometime over this past weekend, apparently due to hydration, but went home today.

I imagine BB is still playing because he wants to be playing. You prohibit someone from doing what they love, then what's the point of going on. Sounds like he is doing better now. Hope he continues to feel okay and keeps playing for as long as he wishes.
Hope he is well.let him keep on doin his thing as long as he can
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Blues patriarch B.B. King is telling fans he's feeling better and will be released from a hospital Tuesday.
The 89-year-old musician's daughter, Claudette King, told the Los Angeles Times (http://fw.to/WX8x5jK ) that he had been hospitalized since the weekend for treatment of dehydration caused by Type 2 diabetes.
A 21-word post on B.B. King's official website expresses his gratitude for fans' concern and good wishes.
King was diagnosed with diabetes decades ago. In October, he cancelled the remaining shows in his 2014 tour after falling ill in Chicago with dehydration and exhaustion.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has released more than 50 albums and sold millions of records worldwide.
Representatives for King didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press
