We will never have a name more synonymous with blues than B-B King. Sadly he passed away at his home last night. King was 89, and suffered from health issues the last few years.

We will remember him for performing into his 80’s and being a HUGE influence on guys like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton (when you influence two of the world’s greatest guitar players, you know you’ve done it right)

As well as being known world wide, BB King won 15 Grammys, is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and has a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Plus apparently King has 50 grandchildren.
