Re: RIP Keith Emerson


Terrible news indeed. The music of ELP was almost as important to me as that of Deep Purple. Keith was truly as unique as you could get as a performer and writer. A true virtuoso! The world is a sadder place with his loss for sure.

Re: RIP Keith Emerson


Unfortunately it was a self-inflicted, single gun shot wound to the head due to extreme depression emoticon

He had been battling a degenerative nerve issue in his hands and it was getting progressively worse at a fast rate.

Such a sad, horrible end to the life of one of the most immense talents music has ever seen.

RIP, Keith.

Oh my! I knew he had some issues with his hands, I didn't know it was that bad... emoticon

Reminds me of Robin Williams.

Re: RIP Keith Emerson


One of my idols. I'm very, very sad today. I play the piano myself, and very few musicians inspired me so much as Keith did.

Rest in peace.

Yeah, apparently he had been depressed for quite sometime and the disease was progressing at a very fast rate emoticon
