I searched and didn’t find any other threads on [this](http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35787187).

Keith Emerson, the co-founder and keyboardist of progressive rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer, has died aged 71.

I loved their stuff, and especially their [eponymous debut album](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson,_Lake_%26_Palmer_%28album%29).  
Just take a pebble, and cast it to the sea…
