What really hurt Kieth was all the low lives talking bad about him when he was struggling with major muscle loss in his arms. He had a few surgery's to have muscles removed due to nerve damage. He was also going through depression at the time. There will NEVER BE anyone as good as KIETH EMERSON. RIP SIR.

Possibly the greatest Keyboardest to ever live. him and Rick Wakeman were my favorites growing up in the 70s. RIP Keith.

Keith Emerson was the NICEST & most HUMBLE GENIUS in the music business. I met him & never could figure out just where his innate humility came from??? RIP Brother Keith !!! Love Always...

Emerson Lake and Palmer sold around 48 million albums so Keith was a very wealthy man, it just shows that even people with all the material things in life can be overcome by depression. RIP Keith.

I knew Keith through a friend who worked closely with him for many years…. and of course, through his stunning music. His death was a devastating piece of news. He is still missed.

Thank you Paul for this respectful visit to my childhood Hero. Rest in peace Keith

RIP Keith and Greg.

One of the saddest days was when Mr. Emerson Passed. He was 1 of my all-time hero's. Rest in peace Kieth.

Can’t believe he’s still not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame .

I visited his grave today after a man I met last week told me he was buried just a few miles away from where I live. I was an ELP fan back in the day. RIP Keith, thanks for the lovely music you created! Those pianos were in different spots when I visited.

Keith’s suicide was one of the saddest ends in R&R… I always loved his playing from when I first saw The Nice, who were a truly great band. I lost track of his career after ELP split, and knew nothing at all about The Best - but wow - what a line up! RIP Keith, you were a true keyboard genius

Keith Emerson and his band mates certainly did their part to introduce the masses to classical music.

KE long ago got me hooked on pipe organ music. Now I collect and listen to everything from Bach to Messiaen.

E L P Live was fantastic!!!...Brain Salad Surgery too .'.... welcome back my friends and Peter Gunn...was two of my favorite songs by these guys..... there are now music 🎶🎶🎶..in this Generation!!!!

Growing up in Mexico ELP were very popular and we used comment about Keith's amazing keyboard playing like no other, he was to us the master of keyboard distortion just like Hendrix on guitar. RIP Maestro.🙏

Thank you for this visit to my hero's final resting place. From the first time I heard "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends..."--the live album, I was a huge fan. I am a keyboardist/composer and much of my jazz and classical training was energized by Keith's path as a player. I dreamed of being the "next" Keith Emerson while in High School. My technical abilities outshined many, but my path led to a career as a surgeon. All the while, I have continued to honor my hard earned skills at the keyboards by continuing to create original compositions and share as much as I can. Near the end of his life, I met Keith, shook his hand, gave him gifts, and made an impression on him enough that he reached out to me to collaborate on my project, which he, in part, inspired: The Player Piano Mouse. Unfortunately, he left us before that could ever be realized. My heart ached for months and continues to as the years have passed beyond his final breath. I was lucky to hold his hand, but for a few moments. I was lucky to have touched him and inspire him as he had given me so many, many years of inspiration. Somewhere, in heaven, he continues to instruct my musical path combined with my surgical endeavors for the community. I'll always hold Keith in a special place amongst the stars. The bond I have shared with many of his fans is a gift that continues to reveal new adventures. Rest In Peace, Keith Noel Emerson.

Adam, what a beautiful story and memories. Thank you for sharing and for what you do as a surgeon. Your story just shows how kind and generous this amazing man was. I too had a chance to meet him and was bold enough to ask for a hug, which he obliged. It was the highlight of my life and I wish I had the ability to speak on the higher musical level to him but he was very kind. At 65, I still grieve this beautiful mind and soul. That's how powerful his music effected me from teen years on.

ELPs frrst abum and Trilogy are 2 of my all time favorite albums. Listened to them countless times over the decades. Still do! They were huge in the states in the 70's. RIP Keith and Greg.

Loved ELP back in the 80”s when the late great cozy Powell joined the group all great musicians and sadly missed but never forgotten 👏👏🎹🥁🎸

I'm a Sussex girl, and took myself off to see Keith's grave not long ago. Such a quiet spot. Best concert I ever went to was ELP at the Dome in Brighton in 1972.

Saw ELPs last Gig at Victoria Park in London. very good. On a trip down to a family funeral I visited Jon Lords grave followed by Keith’s Two great keyboard players

Determined to go here to pay my respects and leave Keith some flowers....

The word on the headstone is plover (which is a sea bird ). A lovely tribute to this hugely talented man.

So grateful to visit the monument to one of my heroes, and guide through the world of instrumental music, the other being Mingus. I am still in awe of the genius of Mr. Emerson. Thank you.

I saw The Nice at one of their earliest gigs at The Marquee in Wardour Street, London, supporting The Jimi Hendrix Experience when David O’List was their guitarist - what a night! The attendance record for the venue was broken, and people were passing out with the heat. Keith Emerson R.I.P.

Live 30 min from the cemetery will defo pay keith a visit 🎹

Another great video Paul! The quotation "...let the wind sweep and the plover cry" around the top of the gravestone comes from the poem "Come not, when I am dead..." by Alfred Lord Tennyson: Come not, when I am dead, To drop thy foolish tears upon my grave, To trample round my fallen head, And vex the unhappy dust thou wouldst not save. There let the wind sweep and the plover cry; But thou, go by. Child, if it were thine error or thy crime I care no longer, being all unblest: Wed whom thou wilt, but I am sick of Time, And I desire to rest. Pass on, weak heart, and leave me where I lie: Go by, go by.

Keith Emerson lived in Chiddingly in East Sussex he used to go to a pub called the Six Bells and did jamming sessions with local bands.

I remember the Albert Hall gigs of 1992. After the gig, me and a mate went round the back to try to get a glimpse of the band as they came out. Carl came straight out and jumped in a people carrier without stopping. Greg hung about a bit, signed a few things but Keith, well Keith did anything he was asked. He signed everything, posed with the picture takers and seemed happy to please the fans. He was a lovely charming man. I want to visit his resting place as I simply loved the band and the music.

God bless you Keith

Keith Emerson rose to be a giant in the music world. It is so sad that his depression over losing his wonderful ability to play at an extraordinary level caused him to leave us so early. Playing was not his only talent....he was a wonderful composer . His music and spirit is embedded in our memories, and when I hear Rachel Flowers perform it, I realize in some manner Keith is still alive inside all of us. When our time comes, maybe we'll get a chance to thank him for what he gave us.

Awww that was lovely that John came and joined you and had a chat. ❤️

He also composed music with another band.....The Nice. They preceded ELP. I recommend Five Bridges Suite. Some people say that was his finest work. Thx Paul.

2016, the year we lost so many musical greats. What a lovely gravestone with the wee piano♥️. How lovely of John to visit often too.

Damn.. Did not realize he ended his life.. For a Trio they made tremendous music no doubt..

The Angels can take a rest for a while.. Keith will take the last Stand...

I had the very high honor of very briefly meeting Maestro Emerson in San Francisco in May of 1988. He was touring with Carl Palmer and Robert Berry. They called the band "3" and I saw him get off of the tour bus at the venue they were going to perform at. Walked up to him and asked him for his autograph. He was happy to give it and I still have it today, in a frame, with the ticket stub from the concert. It is my most prized possession . RIP "Fingers".

Tks Paul, growing up many of us from the 70's idolised Keith, he was unique, the passion, the skill, a musical genius. We'd known of the issues with his hands for a while, his depression etc, I recall thinking I hoped he'd perhaps turn his focus more to conducting which he had done to an extent previously, but it would seem his love of playing was irreplaceable. RIP Keith, you may be gone but your music lives on, God bless.

Hi Paul,really enjoyed this video.How very sad that he killed himself,he must of been in the most horrible turmoil knowing he would not be able to play his music.At least he is resting with his mum and dad,bless him.Thankyou Paul,I love listening to you telling their stories,makes it so more interesting.❤️❤️❤️

They were TOPS THE MUSIC WAS THE BEST

Emerson, Lake and Palmer were very big in Australia in the 1960's- 1970's .

As I'm sure he did for many, Keith led me to an appreciation for Brubeck, Copland, Ginastera, Bach, Bartok, Janacek, Joplin, Miles Davis, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, etc. He mated the richness of western musical heritage with electronics and dynamic live performance along with his able bandmates (and eventually quad sound!) and made the whole thing super cool. Thanks a million. Rock Hall take note.

Emerson lake and palmer brilliant progressive band

I liked how it started to rain for you as you approached Keith Emerson’s grave.

Evening everyone 😀 x Evening Paul x

RIP Keith , such a awesome genius ….. so sad he took his own life , he too was a victim of mean comments on line , some saying he should stop playing after he had surgery , and that added to his depression and he was worried as he didn’t want to let his fans down on the upcoming Japan tour ….how terribly sad he took his life ….yet again to remind people always to remember the words of beautiful Caroline Flack - **BE KIND** thanks again Paul , another respectful video …..if I was famous , I would be so proud if u had ever visited my grave , like I’m sure everyone else has been , who has passed ,as u do it with such dignity , respect , care and love … much love from me as always 🥰 xx

I enjoyed Keith's playing in the Nice back in the late 60's, particularly his album, Ars Longa Vita Brevis, which translates to Skillfulness takes time and Life is short. A fitting epitaph perhaps. R. I. P. and thanks for the music, Keith 👊

Thank you, Paul, for a wonderful reminiscence of my younger days ... I *experienced* The Nice at Edinburgh's Usher Hall, early summer 1970, when I was 19 years old. *Excellent.* During the gig, Keith climbed up to the multi-piped organ in the venue, and 'let rip!'. All us boys and girls had a dashed good time ... Rest In Peace Keith, and your mates. I have attached a PS. containing YT links to two albums of The Nice and ELP which I, selfishly, recommend to viewers - hoping they won't be 'cancelled'. In conclusion: Thanks again. I've already stacked up a playlist of your work and looking forward to catch-up. All the best, U T. Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎 ⏳ 🎲 🌠
