Oh no, no, no... Cry Greg was one of the most amazing voices in the prog world and a great bassist too. I'm a big fan of early ELP and King Crimson, RIP prog master!!

Sad news indeed.

Btw, I have merged the two RIP threads into one ie this one.

So sad to hear this. One of my all time favorites in prog rock-in ELP, King Crimson, and as a solo artist. R.I.P

Just got back from lunch and was whispered this horrid news by a colleague who was genuinely concerned for me. ELP will always be my favourite band. I saw Greg with his band in 2004 and again about 2 or 3 years ago when he was playing just solo with no backing band. He was a lovely warm human being with the bonus of having a great baritone. He developed into an ace bassist (forced into it by Bob perhaps??!) during his days in Crimson and ELP but will always be remembered for his Christmas Record. Only the Pogues bettered it imo. RIP Greg.

What a stellar musician and great man he was. A legend. It's such a shame to have 2/3 of ELP gone in one year. 2016 really is a terrible year.

^^If it could get remixed with a Kendrick Lamar guest rap it might work. Funny enough though, I've heard that song in public more than probably the rest of the ELP catalog combined. The power of Christmas..

Man this sucks, I suppose I should play "Epitaph" at some point today. Take care Carl Palmer...and stay indoors.
