Another great gone

[UndertheWire]

Another old favourite gone - Keith Emerson was my pin-up when I was 11. I listened to Tarkus last year and it holds up well.

Oh no. My husband will be devastated.

This year is horrible. Just horrible.

[NightMistBlue]

OMG no. Terrible. I knew he'd been ill for quite some time though.

[Freypower]

Unfortunately I have just found out the cause of death,

So very sad... RIP.

That is so sad.

This is so sad.

"From the Beginning" off the ELP 'Trilogy' album is one of my very favourite songs. Have so many albums of theirs on vinyl--I know I'll be listening to them a lot over the next several days.

RIP. A major loss.

This is so sad. May he RIP. I just saw this on the news. I was just commenting this afternoon to the dentist of all people( he is a huge 60's and 70's music fan) how much tragedy there has been since the start of the new year in the music world, and now this. I pray happier times are on the way and all these musicians, their families, friends,and fans can find comfort and peace.
