Miss him so much. Not only a fantastic musician. A humble person too. ❤

Jon, besides being such an enormously talented musician, had such a knack for storytelling with a dry witty humor that never failed to make me laugh. R.I.P., and "Carry on Jon".

[raymondmitchell]

Gentleman Jon, such an immense talent and beautiful human being. Still sadly missed, and for me such an import part of Deep Purple and the Deep Purple sound. Miss you Jon.

[seanmeehan-jskh]

Deep Purple were all top notch musicians which is why they stand out. Having Jon Lord on Organ gave them depth in sound that others couldn't match.

[Gunners_Mate_Guns]

Jon Lord, the man who made keyboards sounds badass.

I could listen to Jon telling Purple stories for hours.

I met this man backstage at the Albert Hall. A true gentleman. So lovely.

I never fail to be impressed when listening to Jon being interviewed, he never disrespects or denigrates anyone, he just tells things as he sees or saw it without bitterness or anger ...he walked that "tightrope" so well ever the term "Gentleman" was deserved it is he

Jon Lord - the King of Heavy Rock Organ

[ofilipequintans]

His honesty when speaking of the band is quite impressive. Lord was one of those, one a kind.

[carlsandberg]

John Lord always a gentleman and good ambassador for DP

[leehambleton]

What a great musician Jon was in fact all the members of Purple were brilliant

[thescarletandgrey]

Fantastic musician. Seems like he was a great person to get to know. Hope he’s resting in Purple Heaven now

[erictripton]

Thanks for posting, Ritchie.
A band is a family. Things happen.

I think everyone still here, must look back at the ego clashes and wonder what it was all about. As a teenager in the 80s, the music of Rainbow, Dio, Purple, Whitesnake et al, made my life a little bit better.

[JamesDolen-nx]

Not only a great talent, he went out of his way to help younger players improve in both classical and pop music.

[jaapvander]

for me Deep Purple is one of the best bands ever.

[charlieritchie]

Jon never forgotten brilliant. Deep purple Rock icons all of them.

I saw you guys on the Machine Head tour at Chicago Stadium. There were a few technical glitches and after one final feedback, John Lord leaned over his keyboard and with his heavy deep voice, imposingly large frame, and thick British accent said " if I hear one more feedback, HEADS WILL ROLL!" We loved it, the crowd went nuts!
