Report: KEITH EMERSON's Death Investigated As Suicide
Law enforcement sources tell the site the EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER keyboardist had a single gunshot wound to the head when his girlfriend found him in their home in Santa Monica, California.
Emerson had reportedly been suffering from a degenerative nerve disease in his right hand that meant he could only play the keyboards with eight fingers. As a result, he was struggling with depression.
Back in 2010, Emerson revealed that he had undergone surgery for diverticulitis.
In addition to Emerson, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER included vocalist/bassist Greg Lake and drummer Carl Palmer.
Palmer said in a statement that he was "deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend and brother-in-music."
EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER reunited for one last tour together in 2010. Their final gig took place in July 2010 at London's High Voltage festival.
EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER keyboardist Keith Emerson has died at the age of 71.
His passing was confirmed in a post on the band's Facebook page and official web site.
The statement reads: "We regret to announce that Keith Emerson died last night at his home in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, aged 71. We ask that the family's privacy and grief be respected."
EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER last performed together in 2010, when they staged a 40th-anniversary reunion at the High Voltage festival in London. Their most recent studio effort was 1994's "In The Hot Seat".
"I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend and brother-in-music, Keith Emerson," Keith's longtime bandmate Carl Palmer said in a statement. "Keith was a gentle soul whose love for music and passion for his performance as a keyboard player will remain unmatched for many years to come. He was a pioneer and an innovator whose musical genius touched all of us in the worlds of rock, classical and jazz. I will always remember his warm smile, good sense of humor, compelling showmanship, and dedication to his musical craft. I am very lucky to have known him and to have made the music we did, together."

Наверно, только Кит Эммерсон мог знать, что привело его к такому решению.
