It would seem that 89 year old king of the blues B.B. King has unfortunately fallen ill recently and is unfortunately being forced to cancel eight upcoming shows.
The following statement was given from King's official website:
“Mr. King fell ill (Friday, October 3) during his performance at the House of Blues in Chicago. He was immediately evaluated by a doctor and diagnosed with dehydration and suffering from exhaustion, whereby causing the eight remaining shows of his current tour to be cancelled.”
This is not the first time that King has become ill during a performance. Due to a health scare back in April during a performance in St. Louis he became quite erratic where he didn't play a single song for 45 minutes. He later had to give a public apology in order to smooth things over.
Unfortunately there is no other information on King's current health status, though hopefully he is back on his feet playing the blues better than ever soon. It would be an absolute shame to lose such a talent that helped give shape to blues and rock music as we know it today.
