Announcment on Procol Harums Facebook.

Their great lyricist is dead. One of my favourite lyric writers of rock. Hes legacy and impact on rock lyrics is sound and important.

Sad, they are all going now...one by one. RIP.

Without doubt, one of the best and most talented lyricists who ever walked this earth with a turn of phrase and use of drama and tension that is unrivalled in my opinion. Procol Harum were a great band but Keith's Lyrics took them to a completely different level.  RIP Keith, Shine on Brightly.

Yes, I saw that in the obituary in the newspaper yesterday. I never knew that, either.
