Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bo Diddley is in stable condition today after spending three days in Gainesville’s North Florida Regional Medical Center’s intensive care unit. Diddley suffered a heart attack during a check-up on Friday, August 24th, and underwent immediate surgery so doctors could improve blood flow to his heart via a stent. In May, the legendary guitarist suffered a stroke in Omaha and returned to his Florida home to recuperate while enjoying country and western music.
