Very sad news indeed. I'm sure he's showing J.S. Bach exactly how he did it about now...

Cry. That's so sad.
I knew he had an illness, but what I didn't knew is that he was about to die. Sad news. RIP
So what comes next, Tony Iommi will die from his lymphoma.

I've never been much into Deep Purple... but I did go to see Jon Lord with a symphonic orchestra in November 2010. That was a great gig... I still have the ticket. Damn!

Sad indeed. The first of my real keyboard heros to leave us. His music will live on as his legacy for eons I have no doubt.

Jon, I thank you for being an integral part of the sound track to my youth and all parts of my life since.. 
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Whaaa!!!! Cry I just seen this thread and this is the first I heard about this. I was never a big Purple fan but I always considered Lord one of the best rock keyboardist ever.

Another sad passing of the great musician. I remember 30 years ago when I heard Purples In Rock for the first time and how I listened with open mouth to his fantastic keyboard playing. And now another piece of my youth is gone... :-(
R.I.P. Jon...

My dad turned me on to Deep Purple long ago with Fireball. I've been a fan ever since with In Rock being my favorite album. His solo in Hard Loving Man was fantastic. He is one of the keyboard greats and will be missed deeply

I've never been DP fan (not as much as my dad), but this stuff from Lord is very good too - the legendary "Stop" song and hippie hymn from The Flower Pot Men about Frisco
