Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Greg Lake dies aged 69

Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s Greg Lake has died at the age of 69 after a battle with cancer.

The news was confirmed on Lake’s official Twitter account by Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s longtime manager Stewart Young.

...

The news comes after Lake’s bandmate Keith Emerson died earlier this year as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Anyone seen Carl Palmer recently?

Crikey, he'd only just revealed that he had the disease a week or so ago.

Used to enjoy his Table Talk column in the Sunday Times.

I know the name, and I have a subscription to the Times (and the Sunday Times), but I can't recall ever being consciously aware of reading one of his articles. I think I may have missed out...
