LAS VEGAS, Nev. – B.B. King’s eldest daughter says she’ll host a free musical tribute event at a Las Vegas Strip venue after a public viewing of her father’s body at a funeral chapel.

B.B. King died May 14 at his home in Las Vegas at age 89.
A public viewing is scheduled from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday at Palm Mortuary west of downtown Las Vegas.
