Delta Blues legend David Honeyboy Edwards returns for a UK tour at the end of September. Honeyboy Edwards, at age 94, and his close friend, Pinetop Perkins (age 96) are the oldest and arguably, the last Delta blues players still touring. Edwards was a friend to the legendary musician Robert Johnson and claims he was present on the fateful night Johnson drank the poisoned whiskey that took his life.
