B.B. King‘s death has saddened people around the world and now celebrities are paying their condolences via social media.

President Barack Obama has even released a statement to honor the legendary blues musician, who died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday (May 14) at age 89.

“The blues has lost its king, and America has lost a legend. B.B. King was born a sharecropper’s son in Mississippi, came of age in Memphis, Tennessee, and became the ambassador who brought his all-American music to his country and the world. No one worked harder than B.B. No one inspired more up-and-coming artists. No one did more to spread the gospel of the blues,” Obama said.

“Three years ago, Michelle and I hosted a blues concert at the White House. I hadn’t expected that I’d be talked into singing a few lines of ‘Sweet Home Chicago’ with B.B. by the end of the night, but that was the kind of effect his music had, and still does,” Barack added. “He gets stuck in your head, he gets you moving, he gets you doing the things you probably shouldn’t do�”but will be always be glad you did. B.B. may be gone, but that thrill will be with us forever. And there’s going to be one killer blues session in heaven tonight.”

Sad news – legendary blues musician B.B. King passed away at the age of 89 Thursday night (May 15) at his home in Las Vegas.

According to AP, his attorney, Brent Bryson, confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep at 9:40PM PDT. Funeral arrangements are currently being made.

B.B. suffered from diabetes, but continued to perform until he collapsed during a concert in October 2014 in Chicago, Ill. He later entered hospice care.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to B.B. King‘s friends and family during this difficult time.

B.B. King was reportedly rushed to the hospital over the weekend in Las Vegas, according to TMZ.

The 89-year-old legendary guitarist suffered dehydration issues, due to his type II diabetes.

If you were unaware, B.B. had to cancel eight performances on his tour last fall after he fell ill during a performance in Chicago.

“I’m back at home now listening to music, watching movies, and enjoying some down time,” B.B. shared after canceling his tour. “I think I’m busier at home now than on the road talking to friends calling to check up on me. I do appreciate everyone’s calls and concern. I want to tell you, I’m doing alright.”

B.B. has been living with diabetes for over the last two decades.

We are wishing B.B. a speedy recovery during this time!
