B.B. King vows to keep playing until 'called from above'

"As long as people say I play the blues well, I'll carry on playing," he said, pointing out that he no longer played "300 concerts a year" as he once did.
The 13-time Grammy Award winner is renowned for his blues tones on his guitar famously known as "Lucille," influencing thousands of musicians from Eric Clapton and George Harrison to U2.
He said part of the secret of his longevity was that he was a happy person, unlike other blues musicians who "never smile".
Twice married, he told El Pais when asked if it was true that he had 15 children: "No, it's the women who say I have that many."
