2016 has been claiming musicians at a rapid pace: Bowie, Frey, Kantner. I'm sorry Emerson was so depressed that he took his own life, the Grim Reaper seems to have been doing his job without needing any assistance.
Damnit. I went to three of ELP's concerts at the Auditorium in Chicago. Probably they were my favorite band in 1971 and thereabouts. I remember Keith sticking the dagger in the keyboard, and also pulling the organ over on himself.
One time I remember them performing "Lucky Man" and Emerson screwed up the famous synthesizer solo.

/RIP, Keith. I hope you've found some peace.
You're absolutely right, Deb. The GR doesn't need any help. Stories like this one seem especially sad.
Just awful.
RIP

This story really bums me out.
