Guitarist Bo Diddley in Florida hospital in serious condition


Rock and roll guitarist and songwriter Bo Diddley, 78, was in a Florida hospital suffering heart problems, his press agent and hospital sources said Wednesday.
Known as "The Originator" of rock and roll, Diddley was taken to north
Florida's regional medical center after suffering dizzy spells during a regular medical checkup on Friday, said agent Susan Clary.
A hospital spokeswoman told AFP she was not at liberty to give information on private patients at the hospital, adding that no information was available on the hospital's computer records.
Clary said Diddley had a stent implanted to aid blood flow to the heart and was in stable condition after spending the weekend in an intensive care ward.
In May, Diddley was also hospitalized following a heart attack that left him with slurry speech and unable to fully identify people around him, sources close to him said at the time.........

I saw him jam once at Stevie Ray's in Louisville, Kentucky. Smoking, unbelievable talent. He was a musician that puts to shame everyone on Billboard's chart today.

And, when he was on stage he played Crossroads, a Robert Johnson song. He was humble enough to say that despite his talent, he never felt quite able to play as good as Johnson did.

Thanks for the post. I didn't know he was in the hospital.
