Legendary blues musician Bo Diddley has suffered a heart attack and is being treated in a North Florida hospital. The guitarist is said to be in a stable condition after receiving care in the cardiac ward, though his publicist confirmed that the 78-year-old's condition was still "very serious". Indeed, his recent hospital visits won't help to stave off rumours of a rapid deterioration in the health of the chart-topping star, who was also in care in May of this year after suffering a stroke that impaired his speech and speech recognition. In addition, he has lost a number of toes to diabetes in recent years.
