Very sad to hear this morning of the death of the King of Blues - B.B.King.
Sleep long and well, master.

A tragic loss. I wonder if they will bury Lucille with him?

Nice 'micro tribute' on BBC Breakfast this morning.

Great innings but nonetheless a bit sad.

Lucky enough to see him twice Newcastle arena and RAH - great gigs.

Thank goodness we can still enjoy his recordings.

Yeah... saw that on the news. Might dig some out and play it today. He was a legend indeed.

Not unexpected, but very sad nonetheless

Amazed by Eric Clapton's comments, very touching tribute to the King but he seemed to suggest blues is a dying genre! Not in these parts of the woods it isn't
