RIP B. B. King -- An inspiration to many

Type 2

Blues legend B. B. King passed away yesterday after a long battle with diabetes. News reports are stating he died from complications from diabetes. He was an inspiration to many that just because you are diagnosed with the disease, life does not stop. He performed for many years after his diagnosis and inspired younger generations to get checked for the disease and maintain their health.

He will be greatly missed. He was 89 years old.

As a guitarist with T1, and a HUGE admirer of BB, those ads where he talked about not liking finger-sticks used to make me feel an even closer connection to him than the merely musical one. A “great soul” if ever there was one. RIP, Mahatma King.
