Greg Lake, who fronted both King Crimson and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, has died aged 69.

One of the founding fathers of progressive rock, the British musician is known for songs including In The Court Of The Crimson King and I Believe in Father Christmas.

The news comes nine months after Lake’s band-mate Keith Emerson died. Keyboardist Emerson died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound…

Prog on, you crazy diamonds.

Mmf.
