Jon Lord, legendary keyboard player with Deep Purple and Whitesnake, has died from pancreatic cancer.

I'm going to date myself pretty seriously with this, but I don't really care right now. I saw Jon Lord perform on three occasions, twice at Donington with Whitesnake, and at Knebworth for Purple's triumphant return in the rain and mud. His work was a fundamental component of so much great music, which will with any luck outlive us all...

Jon, thank you.
