Jon Lord - Muere el legendario teclista de Deep Purple: In memoriam



Se nos va otro de los grandes, uno de esos hitos que marcaron la historia del rock junto al resto de Deep Purple; hoy nos deja Jon Lord por causa de esa lacra de nuestro tiempo que es el cáncer. 71 años tenía. Nos ha dejado su memoria, su música, su imagen, y, como los grandes, su paso por al vida ya forma parte de nuestra cultura colectiva. Adiós, o hasta luego, Lord Jon, nos dejas en deuda.
