Get well, B.B. King.

Legendary blues musician B.B. King has been hospitalized, his representatives confirmed to the Los Angeles Times, but his daughter later said he "is much better."

King's daughter, Claudette, told The Times that her father was suffering from dehydration caused by his Type II diabetes.

Born Riley B. King, the 89-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee was diagnosed with the disease more than two decades ago.

His hits include 1950s R&B piece "Three O'Clock Blues," 1970's "The Thrill Is Gone" and 1989's "When Love Comes to Town," a collaboration with U2.

Best wishes, B.B. I've just been listening to a lot of your stuff.

Apparently, he is improving. Let's be hopeful.

From what I've read over the past months, he's had health problems but stayed on the road. I guess it's been a way of life for him for so long that he can't escape it.

BB won't be around long if he is forced to stop performing

IMO
