ELP’s Greg Lake dies of cancer, at 69
mainEmerson Lake and Palmer – the British prog rock group which used such classical titles as Pictures at an Exhibition, and Fanfare for the Common Man – has suffered a second fatality in nine months with the death today of the singer and guitarist, Greg Lake.
Keith Emerson pre-deceased him in March, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The group, which disbanded in 1979, were admired by leading classical artists for the depth and sophistication of their original ideas and adaptations.
