B.B. King marked his 10,000th performance with a show at his club in New York City’s Times Square last Monday night – despite burying his son on Easter Sunday and learning one of his grandsons had been shot dead.
King played a selection of his hits and masked his heartbreak after losing his son Leonard to colorectal cancer.
King, who lost a 14-year-old grandson earlier last week after he was gunned down in a store, drove through the night from Mississippi to arrive in New York on time, according to the New York Daily News.
