FEBRUARY 2
ON THIS DAY IN 1973, THE LATE KEITH EMERSON OF EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER SEVERELY INJURED HIS HANDS DURING A CONCERT IN SAN FRANCISCO WHEN HIS PIANO, WHICH IS RIGGED TO EXPLODE AS PART OF THE SHOW, WENT OFF EARLY.
TODAY IN 1985 FOREIGNER’S “I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS”, FROM THEIR FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘AGENT PROVOCATEUR’, BEGINS A TWO-WEEK RUN AT #1.
AND FINALLY, IN 2011 ‘THE WHITE STRIPES’ SPLIT UP AFTER 13 YEARS AND SIX ALBUMS, ENDING THEIR RUN AS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ROCK DUOS.
