Bo Diddley dies at age 79

Bo Diddley has died after months of ill health. According to spokeswoman Susan Clary, the legendary singer and performer died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla. Diddley suffered a heart attack in August 2007, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation. Diddley was known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat. A Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Diddley had a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and received a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards.
