As reported in a newly-forming ELP web site:

http://www.emersonlakepalmer.com/

The show is scheduled for next July in the UK. Keith is reportedly experiencing problems with his 4th and 5th right hand fingers, which hinders his playing. This information reportedly came from Tony Ortiz's (ELP's pictorial historian) Facebook page.

Thanks Moonglow. Will follow with interest.

[OT] Is there a good live ELP DVD other than Live at the Royal Albert Hall?

It makes me so sad to think of Keith Emerson's hand problems. My father has lost the use of one of his thumbs and can barely play piano or flute anymore as a result. Somehow he keeps in good spirits anyway, and it seems Keith is doing the same, just accepting what life has thrown at him.

It appears Keith is currently writing with Greg Lake, so perhaps a new CD is in the works as well. This bit of info came from a recent interview (November, 2009) with GL:

Let's hope it's one night only. It was curtains for ELP a loooong time ago.
