Guess it shows that we're starting to get old ourselves, when muscians we enjoyed listening to in our youth pass away.

Loved the sound of his keyboards in the music of Deep Purple.

If he's cremated, I know what music I'd choose to be playing when the curtain closes...

RIP Jon.

I remember doing a cover of 'Burn' singing and playing keyboard in a band. My fingers have never moved so quick. Tbh John Lord would have laughed at my attempt
R.I.P John Lord.
