Rock’s biggest stars have said their final, tearful farewells to legendary musician Billy Preston, who is fighting for his life at an Arizona hospital. Billy, 58, who had a kidney transplant in 2002, is said to be gravely ill.
Former Beatle Paul McCartney, guitarist Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones‘ Mick Jagger have all been seen leaving Billy’s bedside after spending time with their good friend. Billy, a pianist who played with the Beatles and Aretha Franklin, was hospitalized in early January at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix suffering from a heart condition.
An inside source said: „All of Billy’s friends looked so upset after visiting him for a while. They kept looking down and shook their heads in disbelief. It was clear they were afraid this would probably be the last time they saw Billy alive. It was breaking their hearts.“
