Only one word could be said today: THANK YOU for what you did.
Keep on rockin' Bo

Meeting BO November 1988 Stuttgart, West Germany. We had a nice hour chat over a cigar and a drink after a show. BO couldn't have been more a friend to a complete stranger. To a great musician and a friend. RADMAN

Bo: You brought us wonderful concerts, wonderful songs, wonderful moments, all with great originallity. I will miss the sound of your rare guitar, the unique hat, but you will never die in our hearts. Now living in The Light, may the peace be with you.
Thank you very much.

So original, so inventive, so entertaining, and now so missed.

One word: RESPECT!

Bo was, and still is, my personal hero. He will live on forever through his music.

live on!

Just not fair. Live on Bo in every thing you put out there that will never die, never fade, and always rock and roll.

A rock n roll gent who will live forever

Right now Jesus is handing Bo a guitar and saying, 'We've been waiting for ya! Now show everyone up here how its done!' We luv ya, Bo!

Thanks for giving the world such great music!

John Lennon once said, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." Perhaps he should have said, "Before Elvis, there was Diddley."
Bo Diddley, his influence and key inspiration spans all generations. From Buddy Holly to The Clash, the Rolling Stones to U2 and countless others, both then and now. Even Elvis' had Bo's beat - '(Marie's The Name Of) His Latest Flame'.
The Bo Diddley backbeat was one of the first iconic heartbeats of Rock 'n' Roll.
God Bless you, Bo & Rock On! Say 'Hi!' to Elvis, Buddy & the guys for us. Thank you all for giving us so much.

The power and energy in your music is both arousing and inspiring. Those of us pursuing musical growth--as well of those who are not--can truly appreciate the influences you brought and still bring to the table. Rest well and wherever you go, man, know you were worth it.

An irreparable loss for music world. Condolence to the family and closer friends.

God bless you for all your work and acts of charity. May you rest in peace, and play to your hearts content with all the other great blues artists in the great beyond.

Thank you Mr Diddley, for great music and a lot of inspiration. I played severel of your songs once opon a time and they will always give me good memories.
I meet you once after a concert and we shaked hands, "my name is also Bo".
Rest in peace

Bo

The beat has its roots in West Africa, but in Bo's hands those roots flowered and bore their sweet fruit in America. Generations to come will call it The Bo Diddley Beat.

He was my favorite guitar player. In fact, he was the originator, the first one to play electric guitar as a authentic instrument, not as an amplified acoustic guitar.
Today it's a sad day.

It was truly an honor to know you.
You made a great impact in my life, and I will never forget you.

You are Rock N Roll
