For the remainder of his life he resided in Archer, Florida, a small farming town near Gainesville, Florida, where he attended a born again Christian church with some of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He continued to tour around the world, and as of the summer of 2006, he was planning to record some faith-based songs, at least some of which would be utilizing his own original music.
While recovering from the massive stroke and heart attack, he came back to his home town of (McComb) for the unveiling of a plaque, on the National Blues Trail devoted to him. The plaque stated he was “acclaimed as a founder of rock and roll.” He was not supposed to perform but as he listened to the music of local musician Jesse Robinson, who sang a song written for this occasion, Robinson sensed Bo Diddley wanted to perform and handed him a microphone. That was the first time Bo Diddley performed publicly since his stroke and heart attack.

Just heard “I’m a Man” on my local underground FM, in tribute to Bo. Ages ago, we used to play that song, among other Bo Diddley songs. RIP Bo and rock em upstairs.

In 1995 Bo Diddley appeared at Mick Fleetwood’s club in Alexandria, VA; Wolfman Jack flew in to serve as Master Of Ceremonies that night. My band at the time was asked to be his backup band that night; we not only played behind him, we had dinner with him and Wolfman Jack that night. What a night that was! Sorry that he’s gone, but he’ll be in the company of all the gone rock cats. Rest in peace, Bo.

This is so sad. No matter that he'd been around a long time and had been ailing. This is just terrible.
May he rest in peace!

All through the late 60s and early 70s Bo used to come up to UNB in Fredericton N.B., Canada and put on a show in the Gymnasium for Winter Carnival. Jerome Green used to be on the harominica.Ecstacy! Some of the best blues and soul rockin' of my whole life!
Rock on in heaven bro!
See you there.

Rest In Peace Bo Diddley.
He was a great entertainer, one of the founding fathers of Rock & Roll and truly an “Originator”. He will be missed.
God bless his family and friends.
Bye, Bo.
