I just saw on Twitter that he passed away at the age of 90, and I thought a legend like Berry deserved his own thread.
I wasn't a fan of "My Ding-a-Ling" which I think is actually his biggest hit, but I don't think I'd ever tire of listening to such classics like "Johnny B. Goode", "Maybelline", "Sweet Little Sixteen", etc. Of course he also inspired tons of other musical artists too.
Condolences to to his family and friends. I just hope that there's not a fight over his assets and body like with James Brown and other legendary musicians.

Farewell to a legit legend. What a run he had, and how terribly poetic to shuffle off this mortal coil with his first record in four decades about to drop. What a parting gift <3

Without Chuck Berry the greatest music this planet has ever known would never exist.

I was watching Back to the Future yesterday just before finding out. Rest in peace to a legend.

It just occurred to me how great it would be if Johnny B. Goode was the national anthem. Somebody start a petition.
