 Albert Hammond Jr.
The Strokes guitarist, who will release his second solo album ‘Cómo Te Llama’ on July 8, responded to the news of Diddley’s death telling Nme.com:
"I think we were all fans of Bo Diddley's rhythm and style. So many artists have borrowed his simple, but powerful rhythms, his chocolate bar shaped-guitar. Bo Diddley, may you rest in piece and live on through future musicians"

As previously reported, the rock 'n' roll pioneer, famed for his homemade square guitar, suffered a stroke in May 2007 while touring in Iowa, which was followed by a heart attack in August the same year.
