    Damn! :(

    (I always thought he'd outlast Rick Wakeman, who worked and played so hard he three heart attacks in his 20s ..!)

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ELP's version of Jerusalem is amazing too, but did cause a bit of offence in certain English circles (such as the Women's Institute) and was banned by the BBC:

    I hadn't heard anything from Greg Lake in the news, but he released a statement through his website:
