Blues Legend Eddie Kirkland Dies In car Crash.

Blues singer Eddie Kirkland has died after his car overturned in Florida. He was 88.
The musician, known as the Gypsy of the Blues, was travelling north of Tampa on Sunday when he tried to make a U-turn in front of a bus and flipped his vehicle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. He later died in nearby Tampa General Hospital. No one on the bus was injured.

The blues legend was born in Jamaica and grew up in Alabama before settling in Detroit, Michigan. His career started when he toured with John Lee Hooker before becoming Otis Redding's bandleader. He also played with Little Johnnie Taylor and Little Richard.

Kirkland is survived by his wife Mary and nine children.

RIP Suze Rotolo

US artist Suze Rotolo, the girlfriend of Bob Dylan during the early 1960s, has died aged 67.

Suze Rotolo will perhaps be best remembered by Dylan fans as the woman walking arm-in-arm with the famous songwriter on the iconic cover of The Freehweelin' Bob Dylan album, Rolling Stone magazine reported.

Just 17 when the pair began dating in 1961, Rotolo was the muse behind many of Dylan's early love songs, including Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, Boots of Spanish Leather and Tomorrow Is a Long Time.

Born and raised in Queens, Rotolo appeared in Martin Scorsese's 2005 film No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, a documentary which focused on Dylan's early career.

She died in New York on February 24 after a long illness.
