Emerson, Lake and Palmer had six platinum records in the 1970s. The band broke up in 1979, only to reunite in 1991. After disbanding for a second time, they reunited again in 2010 for one final tour.

In addition to Greg Lake and Keith Emerson, the band included Carl Palmer. Palmer issued a statement regarding Keith Emerson’s death as well.

“Keith was a gentle soul whose love for music and passion for his performance as a keyboard player will remain unmatched for many years to come,” he said. “He was a pioneer and an innovator whose musical genius touched all of us in the worlds of rock, classical and jazz. I will always remember his warm smile, good sense of humor, compelling showmanship and dedication to his musical craft. I am very lucky to have known him and to have made the music we did together.”

Keith Emerson died in his sleep. No cause of death has yet been announced.

Greg Lake and Carl Palmer will no doubt remember their friend and band mate forever. His legacy lives on in the recordings the three men made back in the 70s.
