Sad news. RIP, and thank you...

First prog group (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) I ever saw in concert.  1971 Fillmore East, New York City.  Said they were going to play a new song that hadn't been released yet.  The song was Tarkus.  R.I.P.

A genius and an unforgettable stage performer. Just watch him perform in 2008 on his band's 'Moscow' DVD, released 2010. I saw him in 1971 sticking knives into his keyboard, standing on the Hammond, rolling it over...

Oh my god. No. I do not like the way 2016 is going. Keith is the greatest keyboard player of all time and that's a fact. You want to talk about the true definition of prog, you watch that man's hands fly all over the keys. Hopefully, Bowie, Squire and Emerson are making beautiful music for God up in heaven. RIP

one of the best keyboarders in rock music.

lots of deaths in music recently. makes me think of a line from Shakespeare's "King Lear": "as flies to wanton boys are we to the Gods. they kill us for their sport".
