Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Gets a little scary all these "old" rockers are in my peer group. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barclaycon 569 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Very sadly, it appears that Keith Emerson took his own life. He had apparently been suffering from depression following a degenerative nerve condition. He had been unable to play for some time. Very sad loss. R.I.P.

Rob.L 1,090 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Sad news. Saw ELP play at Wembley in 1974, and was gobsmacked at the variety of his keyboard work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,730 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 It is very grim, but we also have to accept that it is in the nature of things. They live on through their music. Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites
