ELP and Moto for me go hand in hand. Played on the 8Track when we would go out to the desert to ride.

So many icons dropping dead so far in 2016.
It's crazy.

I have every ELP album on vinyl, along with everything I could get my hands on from The Nice.

Dude was an animal.

RIP.

Loved their music always. So many young people may be unfamiliar with ELP.

I'm devastated to hear this... Keith Emerson was one of my biggest inspirations growing up... I'm blown away to hear that he's passed on.

Yes, I am one of the few young guys who knows who he is, but that doesn't mean I appreciate him any less than the older gents here. Dad was a huge fan and I remember watching old live footage of Keith laying on the ground with his organ tipped over on top of him with daggers stabbed into the keys just making the most insane noises come out of that poor Hammond Silly Grinning

He was undoubtedly one of the best musicians to ever play any instrument in all of history... Absolutely brilliant

Little known fact: ELP is the only band/person to have a classical album in the top 10 Billboard charts.

RIP Mr Emerson, you will be missed

Latest report says it looks like suicide.

He's been slowly losing function of his right hand...

Single gunshot wound to the head.

That sucks.

Great band. Saw them once with Cozy Powell on drums. Emerson put on a mask and stabbed his keyboards with knives. Also played the hell out of them.

If I am unlucky enough to have Alzheimer's and dementia I hope and pray I am lucky enough to know it is happening so I can take myself out before entering the cash cow machine that is a nursing home.

Suicide is a sin but I will roll with it to avoid going through what my dear father went through
