I just saw this too. I hope that the end of the road isn't near for this legend.

Good place to have a heart attack, at least!

I'd be willing to bet he was running on the treadmill for a heart stress evaluation. Most hospitals keep crash carts in the treadmill room, and that would have saved his life.

These fellows are starting to drop like flies. Let's hope the stint makes a huge difference!!

Nah...his heart's just pounding out the Bo Diddley beat. Confounds the doctors every time.

Don't fade away, Bo.

Diabetes is especially hard on traveling musicians, leads to all sorts of circulatory ailments especially in old age.
