B.B. King Wear BlueThere will be a public viewing of the King of the Blues this Friday May 22, 2015 from 3pm – 7pm. at the Palm Mortuary West, 1600 South Jones Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89146

ABS has additionally learned from sources who wish to remain anonymous at this time that after the visitation, there is a plan to bring King’s body back to his hometown in Indianola, Mississippi, and that he will be buried outside of a cemetery.

Speculatively, this means King could possibly be buried in some sort of conjunction with the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, or on nearby land.

UPDATE: Officials for the B.B. King Museum in Indianola confirmed with the Clarion-Ledger that King will be buried at the museum Monday, as they make preparations for the funeral and burial expected to take place next week in Mississippi.
