A new petition has been launched by the Emerson Lake & Palmer Appreciation Group on Facebook, calling on the BBC "to recognise and celebrate the enduring musical and compositional legacy of Keith Emerson through significantly increased programming, performance, documentary coverage, and inclusion within the 2027/2028 BBC Proms seasons."
The band will be very much part of the upcoming and inaugural prog prom, Prog Rock: A Fanfare for the Common Man, which takes place at the Royal Albert Hall on July 18, with Carl Palmer, the sole survivor from the band's line-up appearing alongside Van der Graaf Generator's Peter Hammill, Elbow frontman Guy Garvey, Jane Weaver and Gruff Rhys from Welsh psych exponents Super Furry Animals for the event, which is hosted by BBC Radio 6 Music’s champion of progressive music, Stuart Maconie, host of the Freak Zone.
