Bo Diddley dies of heart failure

Bo Diddley, one of the founding fathers of rock 'n' roll music, died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Florida on June 2. The 79-year-old music legend was admitted to intensive care in Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha after suffering a stroke last year. Born as Ellas Otha Bates in McComb, he adopted the surname of his mother's cousin Gussie McDaniel, who raised him, thus becoming Ellas McDaniel. He was known by his nick name Bo Diddley. The legendary guitarist and singer composed lots of hit songs including "Pretty Thing", "Say Man","Who Do You Love," "Bo Diddley," "Bo Diddley's a Gunslinger," "Before You Accuse Me," "Mona," and "You Can't Judge a Book By the Cover". 11 full-length albums of Bo Diddley were released by Checker Records between 1958 and 1963.

Good Charlotte - Good Charlotte Baby Inspires Madden Family Reunion

GOOD CHARLOTTE rocker JOEL MADDEN's baby girl has helped heal a rift between himself, twin brother BENJI and their estranged father.

The Madden brothers, Joel's daughter Harlow and her mum Nicole Richie recently drove to Roger Combs' home in Maryland after a Good Charlotte show in New Jersey.

The secret family get together, which took place last month (May08) was "a wonderful moment" for Combs.

He tells In Touch magazine, "Harlow is such a beautiful girl. I felt very proud."

A recovering alcoholic, Roger severed his relationship with his children when he walked out on them more than 10 years ago. But Harlow has helped the family put the bad times behind them.

Combs tells the publication he has started getting text messages from his 29-year-old twin sons.

He adds, "My kids were mad at me, and I don't blame them. We are good today, and that's all that matters."
