Bo Diddley Hospitalized
Get Well Soon!
I guess Bo Diddley had a stroke Sunday.
The guy has to be pretty old. I read that the stroke happened after a concert. It's incredible and awesome that he is still out there on the road!
The article also said that, sadly, the stroke had affected his speech.
We keep Bo in our Oldies section here at Amoeba. My favorite record of his is Bo Diddley is a Gunslinger.
The man clearly kicks ass. Hopefully he will recover soon.
