Eric Clapton Responds to the Death of B.B. King
As you might have heard, blues guitar legend B.B. King passed away last night in Las Vegas at the age of 89 from complications due to type 2 diabetes. That no doubt leaves a lot of holes in a lot of hearts in the music world. Eric Clapton was one of BB's best friends and they often played together on stage as BB was a huge influence on the likes of Clapton as well as other icons such as Stevie Ray Vaughn. Below is a video of Clapton with his reaction to King's death.
Here is a live performance featuring Clapton and King live from DC on VH1 some years ago. Enjoy! And RIP BB King!
