Renowned American blues musician B.B. King died at his home in Las Vegas on Thursday evening.
According to the musician's lawyer, Brent Bryson, King died in his sleep at 9:40 pm local time.
The artist missed his 90th birthday by just four months.
A month and a half ago, the blues star was hospitalised at a US clinic with dehydration caused by diabetes, a condition the musician had suffered from for nearly 70 years.
The artist was discharged a few days later and died a month afterwards.
B.B. King was the recipient of several Grammy Awards and is rightly recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
