David "Honeyboy" Edwards dead at 96
David Honeyboy Edwards, the
“Last of the Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen” has died. This morning Monday
August 29, 2011, about 3 am while resting peacefully at home, Honeyboy moved on
to blues heaven. He lived a long, full life, and he felt at peace. He loved to
say, “The world don’t owe me nothing.” Just shy of his 96th birthday,
Honeyboy played his last gigs at the Juke Joint Festival and Cathead
Mini-Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi April 16 and 17, 2011.
Prior to his health turning for the worse in late April, Honeyboy was scheduled
to play numerous gigs in Chicago, across the USA and in Europe, including today
at Millennium Park in Chicago for the noon time concert series. His manager
Michael Frank had to cancel all those dates due to Honeyboy’s declining health.
He maintained a strong spirit until the end, telling stories and showing off his
dexterity in his hands.
Visitation will be Thursday September 1 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, with an open
mic for comments by his friends and fans from 7:00 to 8:00 pm at the funeral
home. Services will
be private on Friday September 2.
