Today Jon lord has died due to pancreatic cancer.

Jonathan Douglas "Jon" Lord (9 June 1941 - 16 July 2012) was an English composer, pianist and Hammond organ player known for his pioneering work in fusing rock and classical or baroque forms, especially with Deep Purple, besides Whitesnake, Paice, Ashton & Lord, The Artwoods and Flower Pot Men.

Spoiler: Examples of his music. • show




He composed the classical piece in the middle.





If anyone has knows more songs of which they think it honours him, post them.


Rest in peace
Thanks to Julius for my OC. (see the avatar)

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees, Give a home to the fleas, in my hair
A home for fleas, a hive for the buzzing bees, A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, splendor, the wonder of my hair

That's terrible.  D:

I'm going to dig through my record collection to find a Deep Purple vinyl, and it shall be played in his honor.

I only have one Deep Purple record!? What is this blasphemy!?


Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes;
they call me on and on across the universe.
Thank you, Durpy, for the banner!
