The news of guitar-maker Gibson filing for bankruptcy came as a shock to guitar enthusiasts across the world. It is, after all, one of the most iconic guitar brands in history and used heavily by some of the biggest guitar legends.

Gibson Brands filed for bankruptcy with a turnaround plan that gives some of the company's lenders equity ownership of the iconic American business that's supplied guitars to B.B. King, Elvis Presley and Pete Townshend.

Police in Columbus, Ohio, say officers were responding to a reported armed robbery Wednesday night when they encountered a person who pulled what appeared to be a gun from his waistband.

An autopsy has found that B.B. King died of natural causes, rejecting his daughters' claims of foul play that cast an unseemly shadow over the last rites for the blues legend.

"BB may be gone but that thrill will be with us forever. There's going to be one killer blues session in heaven tonight," wrote Barack Obama

"I believe my father was poisoned and that he was administrated foreign substances to induce his premature death," the daughters wrote in separate but identical affidavits

Mr King's daughters have reported concerns that his death may have been related to foul play

The death of blues guitar legend BB King this month will be investigated as a homicide, a Nevada coroner's office said on Monday.

Of BB King's greatest hits, Lucille is among the most popular and was the name he gave to his guitars

He had a deep, resonant singing voice and, despite having what he called "stupid fingers," an immediately recognizable guitar sound

Mr King, known for his classic hits such as Lucille, The Thrill is Gone, You Know I Love You, Woke Up This Morning, Please Love Me and When My Heart Beats like a Hammer, reportedly died in his sleep in Las Vegas

Mr King, a diabetes patient, was hospitalised for dehydration

A source said BB King has had type II Diabetes for over two decades

President Barack Obama broke into a song on Tuesday at a White House blues show, as Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger urged a reluctant US leader to step up and sing a few lines.
