That's an ironic shame.  He wrote one of my favorite songs for this time of year, "I Believe In Father Christmas".

I love that track. I'm not much of a prog-rock guy at all but I bought ELP's best-of CD just so I can spin that song during the holidays.
R.I.P. sir.

Wow!  Poking around on Youtube for "I Believe in Father Christmas" I found this;  Greg Lake performing the song with Ian Anderson:



Simply beautiful.  And the lyrics pretty much sum up how I feel about this time of year.  RIP Greg Lake.

Chris Caffery of Savatage/TSO posted this on FB earlier today - Greg Lake joining TSO on stage in New Jersey for a cover of ELP's "Karn Evil 9"

My favorite track with Greg.

I remember being in a record store in Santa Cruz, Ca and this song was put on by one of the employees.  Everybody just just stopped and listened.. Nice sound system made it work even better.  Good memories.
