I'm so sad to hear this! My prayers for his family and friends...
A prophetic song on one of EL&P's albums:
Gone too soon
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Good thread John - RIP to a great musician.
Really sad news. I'm a fan of ELP. I had read that he couldn't play piano anymore due to a nerve issue and that he was suffering from depression. People seem to think that depression doesn't kill, and they are wrong.
