Re: Jon Lord : 1941 - 2012
To say I'm gutted is an understatement!! Ian Paice had recently said they'd caught it early and the signs were good. He was getting the best of treatment in Israel.
What Jon could do with the Hammond was unsurpassed! A true legend! On this sad day I take solace in the knowledge that his music will live on forever!!

A true legend. Will be remembered as right up there with Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman as one of the most influencial rock keyboardists.

RIP Jon
Your talent was immense and has given me alot of joy.
I had the pleasure of meeting you briefly 8 years ago. My signed albums will always remind me of your polite manners and kind smile.

Re: Jon Lord : 1941 - 2012
I've not visited the forum in a long while as there has been nothing new worth commenting on but this is the worst possible news!
Jon Lord was my musical hero, an inspiration, an innovator and a true gentleman.
Let his music be his lasting legacy.
We should not grieve his passing but celebrate the music he gave us!
