[source: NME.com] Blues guitarist BB King has been discharged from hospital after contracting a fever that led to flu. A representative from his management company said the 81-year-old, who was treated with antibiotics at the University Of Texas Medical Branch, was now "back to his old self". King, who was honoured last year with the Presidential Medal Of Freedom, was forced to cancel a performance at the Grand Opera House in Galveston, Texas last Thursday.
