B.B. King: 'I'll retire when I'm dead'

B.B. King has said that he has no plans to retire from the music business and will continue making albums for as long as he's able.

The 84-year-old told The AP that he has never considered giving up the blues, and credits his personal happiness for his career's longevity.

"Retire? I'll only do that when I'm called from above," he said.

"As long as people say I play the blues well, I'll carry on playing."

King also denied the longtime rumour that he has fathered 15 children, saying: "No, it's the women who say I have that many."
