@ajoj0909 that makes absolutely no sense...but what do i expect from a retard...

anyway its sad that we have our heros like chuck berry 84 years old forced to tour just to survive..and somewhere there's a jewish guy reaping the benefits of his work cuz chuck signed the wrong things...smh..pisses me off sometimes.

no reason this guy should be an active touring musician instead of doign it when it feels like and just sitting back and collecting checks from all his hits..

@mdz255 how can you say chuck is not the king of rock and roll? he's the one of the most influential guitar players ever, he changed the way the whole instrument was played and he's still rocking out at 84!

I love the support the whole crowd showed through out the whole show, you can tell he wanted to continue play

@dopemcee he's doing what he loves best.. rock n' roll!

He was probably having a stroke. Oh well, he's outlived rock and roll. He'll never die.

He has gotten old, it happens to everybody. We just lost Hubert Sumlin and are gonna lose Etta James soon. Not many people can at the age of 84 get back up from collapsing let alone on stage and still have the courage to try to play guitar. Not everybody can be as energetic as BB King when they are that old. Its sad to see him this way but whoever is making fun of him needs to grow some balls and mature a lot. Oh and btw I'm 18, and i appreciate this man for what he was and is...a legend.

@GreenLightMe were the fck have U been hiding under a rock for the past 50 years lol he is 85 and still get's sell out gig's, maybe 100s of thousands of people are wrong and your right, maybe he has not produced album after album, who cares, the stuff he plays still gets sell out concerts, & that's what matters, how many 85 year olds U know doing live gig's, but chuck berry is a legend & it's a shame people are beating on him, when he is 85 & nearly passing out to put on a show for his fans.

@UKToneKing Chuck berry had ZERO song writing ability, people look up to these Old timers because they were there in the beginning, end of story.  This is the guy who wrote My Ding a Ling. I'm not one of the people who buy into that reverance crap, his career lasted from 54-59, his come back was in 71 with My Ding A Ling, that's all you need to know.
