Short story:

Norma-Jean Wofford, better known as The Duchess, legendary female guitarist for Bo Diddley, dies in Fontana, California, USA.

Full article:

Bo Diddley : Norma-Jean was my first sidekick... We did everything together. She was like family, which was why I told everyone she was my sister. There was no one else like her and I will miss her very much. I hadn't seen Duchess in so many years, but then she surprised me at a show in California last July. I'm so glad we had the chance to spend some time together again before she left this Earth.
