Rock'n'roll pioneer Bo Diddley has suffered a stroke.

Tests showed that the stroke affected the left side of the "Who Do You Love" singer's brain and has impaired his speech and speech recognition, rep Susan Clary said. She had no other information regarding his condition, which is listed as "guarded," or how long his stay in the hospital is likely to be.

The 78-year-old Diddley, who has a history of hypertension and diabetes, was said to be acting disoriented during a concert in Council Bluffs, Iowa, earlier in the day.
