Oh my God! This is a terrible loss to the music community. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Um... who is Emerson?

 

[Alex.]

"The Emerson, Lake & Palmer co-founder had recently been suffering from a serious medical problem -- a degenerative nerve issue in his right hand ... according to our sources. We're told he could only play the keyboard with 8 fingers at this point and knew it was only going to get worse.

As a result, he was struggling with depression."

Such a terrible fate to befall a musician.

I effed up my fingers in 2004 but I didn't think suicide. I can still play guitar but no finger pickin' and no piano playing. Oh well on to the bitter end.

One of the loudest concerts I ever attended. My ears rang for a week. I think there was some blood!

 

[Harry Dresden]

Karn Evil 9 was one of my most favorite songs.

Guess he's gone to that show that never ends. He'll be missed.
