Published 5th Dec 2011

B.B. King: The Life of Riley is due to be released next Spring and King himself is helping filmmaker Jon Brewer put the movie together.

"B.B. is still giving everything to it, and he has a big history,” Brewer tells Guitarist magazine. "It was an absolute privilege to be asked to make this film -  it’s B.B. King’s life!”

The film will tell the story of how King managed to drag himself out of desperate poverty to become the King Of The Blues.
