Keith Emerson Suicide

Dead at age 71... Gunshot wound to the head. 

"Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends."

Very very talented keyboard artist.  Emerson, Lake & Palmer were more performers than rockers.  Sad to see these musicians I grew up with passing away.  "All good things must end".


Some of Keith's most excellent keyboards...

Show me the way to go home...

Apologies to Mugg.

Put this up in Music Forum and then saw he had already posted the news earlier in the General Discussion Forum.

 It doesn't matter who posts what, where bro.....

 But I do echo your sentiments.........every year older I get, I deal with more of this & it sucks. Never ready for it.

Oh wow, damn. Lucky Man one of the alltime great songs. imo bummer  you know i've made up my mind that if i'm lucky enough i'm checking out on my own terms and plan on not leaving much of a mess behind.

Crazy.  Rest in peace Keith  Emerson 

So sorry to hear about this.  I have been a ELP fan since the 8th grade. Topps in that genre . I think everything they put out between 1970 & 1973 is their best material. ( Pictures At An Exhibition & Tarkus especially.)
