Sad news but all too common these days for bands we have been listening to for decades.
I can not imagine my life without Crim in it so Peter has a founding role with it.

Rest in peace.

Will never forget the first time hearing his lyrics 55 years ago, and seeing his name last in the personnel credits: Peter Sinfield - words and illumination

The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the court of the crimson king

Sad news, his lyrics are part of my musical history. I'll give

a spin in a moment. RIP Pete
