No offense here , except for the one that ( thankfully ) did n’t take place , and some unneeded badmouthing . blueness musician B.B. King , who had Alzheimer ’s disease , was found to have died of born campaign , refuting execution accusations made against King ’s manager and personal assistant .

“ Ms Toney and Mr Johnson are very glad that these assumed and fabricated allegation that were made against them by sure of Mr King ’s children have been dispelled , ” said Brent Bryson , a lawyer for King ’s the three estates .
