Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley is currently in intensive care after suffering a stroke on Sunday. He was taken to the emergency room at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, NE.

The 78-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s condition was listed as “guarded” said publicist Susan Clary. Diddley, who has a history of hypertension and diabetes, was hospitalized Sunday with elevated blood pressure and glucose levels after a concert in Council Bluffs, IA in which he acted disoriented.

Tests indicated that the stroke affected the left side of his brain, impairing his speech and speech recognition, Clary said.
