Rock and Roll legend Bo Diddley passed away from heart failure Monday at the age of 79. Widely acknowledged as the forefather of the mid-century rock revolution,
Diddley was a musical genius, responsible for inspiring numerous other rock gods of his era.
In one obituary for Diddley, it was announced that his recognizable "cigar-box shaped" guitar would be featured in the "impending"
Rock Band 2. Unfortunately, we imagine they're talking about an unlockable guitar actually inside the game, and not about any kind of bundled peripheral.
Whether Harmonix planned for this to be a tribute to the blues luminary is unclear -- regardless, we'll be chomping at the bit to get Diddley's rectangular axe into the hands of our imaginary six-string virtuosos whenever the sequel to
our third-best game of 2007 hits store shelves.
