BB admits that he is slowing down but not too much. A lisenced pilot King stopped flying at 75 when his manager, and the insurance company, told him he had to stop. Touring using two buses King performs around 150 shows each year. He lives in Las Vegas when he is not on the road. King, a diabetic, is a vegetarian, non smoker, and a non drinker who never made it past the eigth grade. King admits that his one regret is that he never finished high school and continued his education.
While he may not have finished his formal education King has accomplished quite a lot in his nearly 50 years of making music with a Presidential Medal of Freedom, Endowmanet for the Arts Awards, and 14 Grammy Awards. He also owns blues clubs in New York, Orlando, Nashville, and Memphis. King was admitted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
King admits that there has been several times in his life that a woman said to him that its is either me or Lucille. As a result King has four sons and 11 daughters not all by the same woman and he has been married and divorced twice.
BB King and Lucille continue to entertain the world with blues that make you feel good.
