I was very sad to read that Greg Lake passed away after suffering from some type of cancer. His manager, Stewart Young, made this announcement earlier today:

He co-founded King Crimson with Robert Fripp and played bass on, wrote lyrics for, and had a hand in producing their seminal debut: The Court Of The Crimson King. He also founded ELP and has stamped his influence over countless other projects. People better qualified than I will give better eulogies but, at this time of year, I wanted to share his UK top ten solo hit.

Greg Lake, 1947-2016, will be sadly missed.
