RIP Jon Lord
JON LORD (06/09/41 - 07/16/12)

From jonlord.org :

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Jon Lord, who suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism today, Monday 16th July at the London Clinic, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Jon was surrounded by his loving family.

Jon Lord, the legendary keyboard player with Deep Purple co-wrote many of the bands legendary songs including Smoke On The Water and played with many bands and musicians throughout his career.

Best known for his Orchestral work Concerto for Group & Orchestra first performed at Royal Albert Hall with Deep Purple and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 1969 and conducted by the renowned Malcolm Arnold, a feat repeated in 1999 when it was again performed at the Royal Albert Hall by the London Symphony Orchestra and Deep Purple.

Jon’s solo work was universally acclaimed when he eventually retired from Deep Purple in 2002.

Jon passes from Darkness to Light.

Re: RIP Jon Lord
There was a thread here at GLP about a year ago foretelling the immediate demise of a rock star who was famous on the organ. I think this who that individual was referring to, albeit a bit off on the timeline.

Deep Purple sure blows away Led Zeppelin in concert, it's great to see them play as a band and not just a 'guitar show showing off.'
