NO MORE FLYING FOR B.B. KING

Blues legend B.B. KING has been banned from piloting his plane - because, at almost 83, he's too much of an insurance risk.
The guitarist, a diabetic with "bad knees", has been advised against flying his aircraft for almost a decade - and now he's taking note.
He tells Parade magazine, "When I turned 75, my manager and the insurance company said, 'No more.'
"But I could still drive the tour bus if I wanted. I'm pretty good for a guy with diabetes and bad knees."
