BB King

Riley B. King (September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015), known by his stage name B.B. King, was an American Hall of Fame bluessinger, songwriter and guitarist.

Komara, King "introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that would influence virtually every electric blues guitarist that followed." King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. He was considered one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of the Blues", and one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with Albert King and Freddie King). King was also known for performing tirelessly throughout his musical career, appearing at more than 200 concerts per year on average into his 70s.[8] In 1956, he reportedly appeared at 342 shows.[9]
In 1990, King was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President George H.W. Bush.[10] In 2006, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential blues guitarists of all time, inspiring countless other electric blues and blues rock guitarists. King died at the age of eighty nine from diabetes complications inLas VegasNevada on May 14th, 2015.
Reason of death
After the cancellation of the remaining eight shows of his 2014 tour because of health problems, King announced on October 8, 2014, he was back at home to recuperate. On May 1, 2015, after two hospitalizations caused by complications from high blood pressure and diabetes, King announced on his website that he was in hospice care at his home in Las VegasNevada. He died in his sleep on May 14, 2015 from a series of small strokes caused by type 2 diabetes.

Last time something personal

Today very clearly I would say a few things that I don't think people are interested in but for my sake-
1) I am alone here in my school.The friends I had, have moved on to different cities where they are happy, I guess.I am stuck in Balurghat, away from all who matter to me.
2) Pretending to be very happy on their departure with all the emotions hidden inside.New life and old memories are all I have to face now.
3) I ask to myself of my survival every now and then. BLANK.
4) I feel deserted even though I know none have deserted me.They have gone ahead to pursue their career.So ,what?I am going mad.
5) Back to the same school despite the fact that I don't want to be there anymore.
6) Need to make a happy-go-girl face so that people won't buzz around asking if I'm alright.I AM NOT.
7) I am utterly confused if I'll be able to make it.
8) I have lost it which I feel you are understanding by now.
9) I need some oxygen.

Remaining shattered in the mist of utter confusion !

That's where I belong, may be.Today I want to speak my mind out- 
Friend has drifted away.And I am shattered in pieces.Unable to say to anybody nearby(worry if they'll mind).I am happy at times and at times I am down for some unknown reasons.I can't sleep these days, even the lullaby doesn't work ! What am I supposed to do?Everyone thinks I am cheerful, but only I know what is happening inside.The pain of losing a friend is eating my day by day.I am confused.

Madame Mao aka Jiang Quing

Jiang Qing (Chiang Ching; March 19, 1914 – May 14, 1991) was the pseudonym used by the major Communist Party of China political figure who was Mao Zedong's last wife. In the West, Jiang was known as Madame Mao. She went by the stage name Lán Píng (蓝苹) during her acting career, and was known by various other names during her life. She married Mao in Yan'an in November 1938 and served as Communist China's first first lady. Jiang Qing was best known for playing a major role in the Cultural Revolution (1966–76) and for forming the radical political alliance known as the "Gang of Four". She was named the "Great Flag-carrier of the Proletarian Culture".

Death

Jiang Qing was sentenced to death in 1981. In 1983, her death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. During this time, she made several requests to visit Mao Zedong's embalmed body in Beijing, but they were turned down. When the Tiananmen Square protests occurred, Jiang believed that the student activists were liberals rather than Maoists, but she blamed them on Deng Xiaoping, writing that "He let in all those Western ideas!"
While in prison, Jiang Qing was diagnosed with throat cancer, but she refused an operation. She was eventually released, on medical grounds, in 1991. At the hospital, Jiang Qing used the name Lǐ Rùnqīng (Chinese: 李润青). She was alleged to have committed suicide on May 14, 1991, aged 77, by hanging herself in a bathroom of her hospital. She penned a suicide note reading "Today the revolution has been stolen by the revisionist clique of Deng Xiaoping. Chairman Mao exterminated Liu Shaoqi, but not Deng, and the result of this omission is that unending evils have been unleashed on the Chinese people and nation. Chairman, your student and fighter is coming to see you!". Her suicide occurred two days short of the 25th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution.
