As you might recall, legendary Rock n’ Roll singer Bo Diddley suffered a stroke earlier this month. Thankfully, it appears that Diddley is improving.

While he still struggles with attempting to communicate, he’s slowly returning to his old self. His longtime manager reported that, since the stroke, Diddley has been humming along to the radio - good signs that he’s well underway to recovery.

On Thursday, he was transferred from a hospital in Omaha to a facility that’s closer to his home in Florida. Since then, Diddley has been undergoing speech and physical therapy to regain his ability to communicate and function.

Right now, it’s too early to tell how much therapy the singer will need. It’s also unclear whether Diddley will be able to perform again.
