Don't think so. direct from his web page:

"We just want to let all the fans know that B.B. King is alive and well and continues to tour as normal..."

The rumors were that he died yesterday. And they also were false.

Man...someone posted a BB King appearence on "Sanford and Son" the other day, and I watched it, seeing him in his prime and all.

As I watched it, I got sad thinking, even though I got to see him sometime in '72 I think it was, and it was the best show I've ever seen...and thinking that he doesn't have all the time in the world, and how much I appreciate him for his playing, style, that he exists.

Man, I got a shock seeing this threads name. Glad it was wrong.
