KEITH EMERSON

Following the success of his campaign to bring Emerson, Lake & Palmer's music to the BBC Proms, Emerson Lake & Palmer Appreciation Group member Gary Hunt has launched a new campaign urging the BBC to feature more of Keith Emerson’s music and legacy across its programming.

If Keith's music has meant something to you, please sign the petition and share it with fellow fans. Every signature counts.

Please sign and spread the word!

From Gary:
"We, call upon the BBC — particularly BBC Radio 3, BBC Four Television, and the organisers of the BBC Proms, to recognise and celebrate the enduring musical and compositional legacy of Keith Emerson through significantly increased programming, performance, documentary coverage, and inclusion within the 2027/2028 BBC Proms seasons."

Sign the Petition Recognising Keith Emerson’s Musical Legacy on the BBC, The BBC Proms, and Around the World

Below is my post from 9 years ago today. Incidentally, Hiromi Romy Kaneko and I were just at the same venue to watch Asia.

My BBF and also KeBillboard Live TOKYOn, Hiromi Romy Kaneko translated the post by Billboard Live TOKYO. On behalf of Keith, I'd like to apologize for those who bought tickets and we're looking forward to the show. And I thank you for your love and support. Keith was so well loved in Japan. And he loved the country, its culture, respect, and it's people and their appreciation for high art. People of Japan, please keep his music alive. We need you more than ever now.

I translated the comment from Billnoard Live Tokyo. 日本語は下にあります。

"Today, April 19th, Billboard Live Tokyo didn't have any shows, but a Keith Emerson fan came and laid flowers at the venue. It was supposed to be the last day of 3-day concert series for Keith Emerson Band featurin Marc Bonilla, right here at Billboard Live Tokyo. We praise Keith's greatest achievement in music and would like to offer our deepest sympathies to his families and friends. May his soul rest in peace."

Note: the band members would have been KEITH EMERSON, Marc Bonilla, Travis Davis, Troy Luccketta, and Jonathan Sindelman

本日、ビルボードライブ東京は休演日でしたが、キース・エマーソン氏のファンの方が会場にいらっしゃって、お花を手向けていかれました。

本来であれば、本日4月19日は『キース・エマーソン・バンド featuring マーク・ボニーラ』公演の最終日でした。

改めて、キース・エマーソン氏の生前の功績を偲び、心からご冥福をお祈りいたします。

Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman chat about songs they wish they'd written, and so much more, as part of an hour long interview on Rick's Place back in 2010. Listen in full on YouTube.
