Best known for Emerson Lake and Palmer, but those first two King Crimson albums are milestones in rock history, especially the first. | | |

It has certainly been a terrible year <sigh>

Sadly, Keith Emerson took his life earlier this year.

He shot himself because he had nerve damage in his hands and worried about how he could no longer perform. | | |
