Legendary musician Bo Diddley performs at B.B. King's Blues Club in New York, in this file photo from Aug. 2, 2006. The famed guitarist has been placed in intensive care after suffering a stroke in western Iowa, publicists said Wednesday May 16, 2007.

    Bo Diddley is in intensive care after suffering a stroke in western Iowa, a publicist said Wednesday.

    The 78-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was listed in guarded condition at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Neb., said Susan Clary, a publicist for the musician's management team.

    Diddley, who has a history of hypertension and diabetes, was hospitalized Sunday following a concert in Council Bluffs in which he acted disoriented, she said.

    Tests indicated that the stroke affected the left side of his brain, impairing his speech and speech recognition, Clary said.

    Clary said she has no other details on Diddley's condition or how long he would be in intensive care.

    Diddley, with his black glasses and low-slung guitar, has been an icon in the music industry since he topped the R&B charts with "Bo Diddley" in 1955. His other hits include "Who Do You Love," "Before You Accuse Me," "Mona" and "I'm a Man."

    Diddley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and was given a lifetime achievement Grammy in 1998.

    Thank you so very much for this Les, I recall seeing him at the Esquire Show
    Bar in Montreal in the early sixties. He rocked our sox off in those days.
    One of my favourit songs from that era was a song called " Say Man." I saw
    every show he did. & we danced at our seats, as their wasn't any dance floor
    at that time. Thanks again.......

    Oh Wow - Les I'm just listening & watching the YouTube clips of Bo Diddley......some good stuff, my son!!! judy in NB

    Thanks Les for all the sites and news.  I love Bo Diddley and his music and have most of his CDs.  He was an inspiration to a lot of performers but he was his own man, an original.  I checked out the You tube performance and oh my God!  Frankie Avalon on trumpet and Donnie Osmond on keyboard!    The man can rock.  Hey Bo Diddley !  I hope he continues to move audiences as always.  I'm going to play his music tonight.....    Dolly
