Blues legend B.B. King rushed to Las Vegas hospital over medical emergency
American Blues legend B.B. King was recently rushed to a Las Vegas hospital for a diabetes-related emergency.
The 89-year-old's rep told TMZ.com that the musician remained hospitalized at a medical center close to his Vegas home.
Another source informed that the American singer's health emergency was the result of dehydration from his Type II diabetes, a condition he has lived with for more than two decades.
King, who has been ranked at No. 6 on Rolling Stone's 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, cancelled all of his performances in 2014 due to medical issues.
