Blues legend B.B. King remains in hospice care Saturday at his home in Las Vegas.

King's longtime business manager Laverne Toney says the musician had a good night and she welcomed the concern about his health. Toney has legal control over King's affairs.

King first informed his fans Friday via Facebook.

"I am in home hospice care at my residence in Las Vegas," wrote the blues legend. "Thanks to all for your well wishes and prayers."

The Clarion-Ledger reports King was briefly hospitalized Thursday for the second time in a month. The Hall of Fame member was diagnosed with diabetes decades ago.

King's daughter, Patty King, said her father wasn't eating and was dehydrated, so he was taken to the hospital for observation, according to local station KLAS-TV.

Tests were performed on King and it was determined he might have suffered a minor heart attack, Patty said. King was released and returned home late in the evening.

According to the Associated Press, Las Vegas police said an ambulance was summoned Thursday to King's address and a person was hospitalized following what was characterized as a dispute over medical care.

The hospitalization was the second in a month for King, who was diagnosed with diabetes decades ago.
