He did have some kind of nerve damage which didn't allow him to play like he used to, plus depression.

There are rumors that this was a suicide by gunshot. Of course it's too soon to know. But if it's true I think it was because Keith knew he had some kind of cancer that doctors told him was terminal and he decided to end it quickly, rather than endure a painful and prolonged death. He had a very successful life...

Again, the facts aren't out yet. Let's wait and see.

I guess the truth will come out eventually, but that is terrible, if true.

Yet another legend gone! :wa

Gutted .. Keith Emerson was a master talent, R.I.P. and for the great albums and gigs a big salute, for many the show will never end.
