I’m in my 20’s and I grew up listening to hard rock and rock and metal and blues and clearly BB King was no exception. He’s still an icon he’s always gonna be with us he died 1 day after I turned 17. My birthday is May 13 1998 so yeah it won’t be hard for me to remember sadly.

BB King was such an amazing musician and man. His music inspired many a blue's artist to follow him. He has always lifted those around him and those he performed with. He always made them feel like the star of the show. He was always a humble man who never forgot those that helped him in his journey as well and he was always praising them in every show he performed. He also loved and adored his fans as much as they loved and adored him. He knew how much they loved him and he was eternally grateful to them all.
