Emerson, Lake & Palmerin itsemurhan tehneen Keith Emersonin vaimo kertoo miehensä kärsineen masennuksesta

Uutisoimme sivustollamme viikonloppuna englantilaisen progressiivista rockia soittaneen Emerson, Lake & Palmerin kosketinsoittajan Keith Emersonin kuolemasta 71 vuoden ikäisenä. Emerson kärsi käden hermovauriosta ja edes leikkauksessa käyminen ei saanut kättä parempaan suuntaan.

”He was just natural. The music was always in his head, always. Even when he was sleeping, you know, I could tell he was always thinking about music. Sometimes he would wake up and compose music. And it was all so, so beautiful.”
