I saw ELP on the BSS tour twice....it was remarkable music, played by remarkable musicians! I never quite understood the thrashing they seemed to draw on PA.
He was truly a lucky, talented man. RIP Keith!

I live probably within 5 - 6 miles of where Emerson had his home in Santa Monica, Calif. and the feelings of sadness and helplessness are great at this moment. We just had the biggest deluge of the season yesterday, rain-wise, and it's almost poetic that this great progger's life ended either on or around the time of a cloudy, rain-swept day. Very English. Saw the Works 1 tour and then saw Emerson astride his Harley at Wilshire and Santa Monica one weekday afternoon around 10 years back. To think we'll never see him again...

Very shocked to hear this extremely sad news! I have never been a massive ELP fan but Keith was a hugely talented musician and a real, real gentleman. The Nice (and also the first ELP lp and Tarkus) were hugely influential, particularly on the continent, in bringing about the metamorphosis from Psychedelic rock to Progressive rock. Sincerest condolences to Keith's family and friends on this particularly tragic loss. RIP Keith and Thank you.

Never thought it would be suicide. Makes the whole situation even more disheartening.

Always wished I'd seen the BSS tour! I was lucky enough to see them on the '77 Works tour in Oakland. I remember at the time we were all shocked at the high price of the tickets...a whole $6 each! They'd already sent the orchestra home so had rearranged the Works stuff for 3 piece and it was fantastic. Funny memory from that night was between songs Keith had a problem and his keyboard tech was working on something for a couple minutes when Keith steps up to the mic and says, "Having a little organ trouble...bet you can all get into that!"

Very sad news. He's always been my favourite musician. I'll pray for him today and hope God forgive him the way he abandoned this world.
Rest in peace my prog-rock hero!
