Blues guitarist B.B. King is in home hospice care in Las Vegas,
The 89-year-old musician posted thanks to fans on his official website Friday for well-wishes and prayers.
Las Vegas police Officer Jesse Roybal says an ambulance was summoned Thursday to King's address and a person was hospitalized following what was characterized as a dispute over medical care.
The hospitalization was the second in a month for King, who was diagnosed with diabetes decades ago.
In October, he canceled the final shows of his 2014 tour after falling ill in Chicago.

...is at his bedside.
Sounds pretty good to me, can I do one more?
Look out, Lucille
Sounds really good, I think I'll try one more, alright
Safe home, B.B.
He seemed so frail, until he started singing and playing, then he seemed so powerful.
Go in peace, Mr. King.

A great blues artist - and one I remember being plaid back home - many times when I was a kid - and I have a few records of him too - even though I use you-tube for the most part now days
He is old - and I do hope he will when it's time for him - leave this world - and go to the other side in peace - maybe playing on his Lucille as he arrived at the other side - when the other masters of Blues is waiting for him..
I think i will put on a B.B King record soon - to listen to a master - even though I suspect my nabour would have something to say about it

Peace and comfort to him and his family. 
Son Seals, et al, all gone. I can't think of any who are still alive - there is Lonnie Brooks but he is considered Chicago Blues and not Memphis Blues along with Buddy Guy.
I highly recommend his autobiography - there are some eyebrow raising revelations in his book. One is that he met a white woman from Little Rock, Ark. in NYC in the 1940s and had an affair with her. He would sneak through the backyards and alleys to get to her house in LR and he said he was too scared of dying to continue doing that. His heart couldn't take it 
I bought tickets to see him at BJ's Star Studded Honky Tonk for Mothers Day and I had tickets 1, 2, 3, 4! When will that ever happen again? Well, my s-i-l's thieving friends stole them from *my* house! I had stuck them on *my* mantle. I still get angry thinking about it.
BJ's set up the place as a nightclub with linen tablecloths, candles, silverware, the whole nine yards. My mother had an absolute blast and still talks about it 20 years later. Of course, SO & I had a wonderful time too! 
I still think the best concert he ever put on was at Memphis in May on the weekend he opened his club on Beale St. He was on fire and cloud nine that night and it really showed in his playing and singing. That was His weekend more than Memphis in May weekend.
Love vibes to B.B.
