IMHO the greatest rock keyboardist ever...he defined DP's sound even more than Blackmore.

As my 22 year old son put it, this really sucks. Listen to Lord play Lazy and you can hear the genius.

I had the privilege of seeing them in concert just once, but what a show! Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Glover, and Gillian back in the 80’s, after Blackmore dissolved Rainbow. Lord rocking the keyboards back and forth...

That’s rough news and a slap towards reality. RIP. Great band despite the tension.

Mr. Lord was in many ways the glue that held together the monumental talents with the monumental egos and eppetites that made Deep Purple what it was
Peacemaker, mediator and taskmaster to the volatile combination of Blackmore and Gillan.
Coach to Glover and Paice, always bringing out their best
Composer, Symphony class musician, he always took Purple beyond “Metal” and “Progressive” labels, and just plain made them Deep Purple. They were in a class by themselves and he brought that class to them.
RIP Sir. Lazy will be played in your Honor

RIP Jon Lord
According to Wikipedia, his last musical goings-on was with a bunch of greatest musician for a benefit; including Tony Iommi, Ian Gillan, and Nicko McBrain.

That’s certainly true. And of course, Whitesnake never sounded the same without him either (and that band had two guitarists when he was a member) . . .

This is devastating to me. DP were my teen years and have defined my tastes in music.
Jon Lord I hope you meet my Lord on good terms today. Thank-you for all your years of great music.
