B.B. King doing 'much better'


Legendary blues musician B.B. King, 89, was taken to a Las Vegas hospital over the weekend.

But he is doing "much better," his daughter Claudette tells The Los Angeles Times.

King was suffering from dehydration stemming from his Type 2 diabetes.

The musician was diagnosed with diabetes more than 20 years ago. Last year, he canceled his concert tour after being diagnosed with dehydration and exhaustion.
