Emerson Lake and Palmer

The 30-minute prog-rock epic's tale of humans battling computers is heading for the big screen.

Keith Emerson and Greg Lake were ready to reunite – even if it meant going on without Carl Palmer.

Rest in peace, Keith Emerson. A founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and "a modern wizard of electronic and acoustic keyboards" passed away yesterday. He won't just be remembered for his musical genius but also for his showmanship.

As the end of the '70s neared, they found themselves at a commercial and creative crossroads.
