Universally hailed as the reigning king of the blues, B.B. King, who has just recently celebrated his 80th birthday, has just announced his last ever UK tour, with five ultra-rare dates in March and April 2006.
The blues guitar legend will team up with Gary Moore to share the once in a lifetime double bill for what is set to be one of the most spectacular rhythm'n'blues concert tours ever to hit UK shores.
