What really hurt Kieth was all the low lives talking bad about him when he was struggling with major muscle loss in his arms. He had a few surgery's to have muscles removed due to nerve damage. He was also going through depression at the time. There will NEVER BE anyone as good as KIETH EMERSON. RIP SIR.

Thank you for this visit to my hero's final resting place. From the first time I heard "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends..."--the live album, I was a huge fan. I am a keyboardist/composer and much of my jazz and classical training was energized by Keith's path as a player. I dreamed of being the "next" Keith Emerson while in High School. My technical abilities outshined many, but my path led to a career as a surgeon. All the while, I have continued to honor my hard earned skills at the keyboards by continuing to create original compositions and share as much as I can. Near the end of his life, I met Keith, shook his hand, gave him gifts, and made an impression on him enough that he reached out to me to collaborate on my project, which he, in part, inspired: The Player Piano Mouse. Unfortunately, he left us before that could ever be realized. My heart ached for months and continues to as the years have passed beyond his final breath. I was lucky to hold his hand, but for a few moments. I was lucky to have touched him and inspire him as he had given me so many, many years of inspiration. Somewhere, in heaven, he continues to instruct my musical path combined with my surgical endeavors for the community. I'll always hold Keith in a special place amongst the stars. The bond I have shared with many of his fans is a gift that continues to reveal new adventures. Rest In Peace, Keith Noel Emerson.

Adam, what a beautiful story and memories. Thank you for sharing and for what you do as a surgeon. Your story just shows how kind and generous this amazing man was. I too had a chance to meet him and was bold enough to ask for a hug, which he obliged. It was the highlight of my life and I wish I had the ability to speak on the higher musical level to him but he was very kind. At 65, I still grieve this beautiful mind and soul. That's how powerful his music effected me from teen years on.

Carl came straight out and jumped in a people carrier without stopping. Greg hung about a bit, signed a few things but Keith, well Keith did anything he was asked. He signed everything, posed with the picture takers and seemed happy to please the fans. He was a lovely charming man. I want to visit his resting place as I simply loved the band and the music.

The quotation "...let the wind sweep and the plover cry" around the top of the gravestone comes from the poem "Come not, when I am dead..." by Alfred Lord Tennyson: Come not, when I am dead, To drop thy foolish tears upon my grave, To trample round my fallen head, And vex the unhappy dust thou wouldst not save. There let the wind sweep and the plover cry; But thou, go by. Child, if it were thine error or thy crime I care no longer, being all unblest: Wed whom thou wilt, but I am sick of Time, And I desire to rest. Pass on, weak heart, and leave me where I lie: Go by, go by.

We'd known of the issues with his hands for a while, his depression etc, I recall thinking I hoped he'd perhaps turn his focus more to conducting which he had done to an extent previously, but it would seem his love of playing was irreplaceable. RIP Keith, you may be gone but your music lives on, God bless.

They called the band "3" and I saw him get off of the tour bus at the venue they were going to perform at. Walked up to him and asked him for his autograph. He was happy to give it and I still have it today, in a frame, with the ticket stub from the concert. It is my most prized possession . RIP "Fingers".

Keith Emerson was a big influence on my piano playing and composing. It's nice to see his grave. When I heard the news that he killed himself I was shocked but then I thought about it for a moment. When you're at the top, where else is there to go? He was such a huge talent and pioneer, the greatest keyboardist to emerge from rock music. Nerve damage to his right hand made him depressed as indicated in interviews he gave the last few years of his life. It's so sad, but he did live a long productive life and his music will be remembered forever.
