Guitarist/singer Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake and Palmer dies

Updated: DECEMBER 8, 2016 — 10:56 AM EST

LONDON (AP) - Musician Greg Lake, a prog-rock pioneer who co-founded King Crimson and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, has died. He was 69.

Manager Stewart Young said in a statement that Lake died Wednesday after "a long and stubborn battle with cancer."

Born in the southern English seaside town of Poole in 1947, Lake founded King Crimson with guitarist Robert Fripp in the late 1960s. The band pioneered the sprawling, ambitious genre that came to be known as progressive rock.


He went on to form ELP with keyboardist Keith Emerson and drummer Carl Palmejr. With Lake as vocalist and guitarist, ELP impressed the crowds at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, in a lineup that also featured Jimi Hendrix and The Who.

I believe he was also in King Crimson too.

Great guitarist, another loss to the music industry.
