Jon Lord - Honorary Degree - University of Leicester

[Stonezorz]

If I was a religious person I'd worship Jon Lord as my deity.

[insensiblegradations]

Lovely to see Jon Lord get this award. What an inspirational keyboard player he is, particularly on the Hammond organ.

[IlRezzonico]

Well done Jon. I don't normally agree with honorary degrees, but for Jon I will make an exception. This guy's tinkling has been the soundtrack of my life.

[pearbra]

Well deserved, Jon.

FUCK YOU, CANCER 

[1976scarpa]

Un uomo un talento e un mito....fantastico!

[jmastersherm1]

Here's to a full recovery for the lord of the Hammond. A true gentleman!

[FellipeSNK]

best fucking keyboardist ever

[metacosmos]

Hope he publish some day the scores of his Concerto and other works from him, as well as a method on organ playing explaining all his fingerings.

[ArpeggioBear]

apparently no students are giving him respect, do they know Jon Lord?

[armando47]

Te lo has ganado a pulso.

En Hora Buena ¡MAESTRO¡.

[616Dave616]

Cuando vi a Deep Purple en Villaverde Alto, (Madrid, Spain), yo también me sentí muy "DOCTORADO", gracias al show, y nuestras botellas de vino. ! Inolvidable !.

:)

[danchacal2003]

Totalmente merecido. Aqueles que gostam de musica, de rock principalmente, sabem da competência e seriedade dele, inclusive em períodos difíceis do Purple.

[mwtriggs]

Call me a sceptic but I'll bet none of those fuckers appreciate his genius.

[gytxduy]

He is a winner and he's gonna beat the cancer!

[schuindtmetal]

I Cried.

[reclaimerReclaimer]

I only just now found out about the illness. God bless you, Jon! I wish you all the best, and hope you'll be well again very soon, Maestro!

[lovecraft1960]

un doveroso riconoscimento ad un uomo che ha fatto della musica la sua ragione di vita a prescindere dalle inclinazioni stilistiche, sono un vecchio fan dei deep e sono contento per lui, spero che risolva al più presto i suoi problemi di salute per vederlo presto suonare "la bestia" auguri grande jon....

[Toottycat]

A crowning moment for the man who gave so much to rock development, entertaining legions of fans. Congratulations Maestro, congratulations Dr Jon Lord.

[TheBoyWhoSetsTheFire]

Get well quick! You're my hero

[DCHurlford1]

Such sad news he's fighting the dreaded "C". Saw him in concert with Purple twice back in the 90's. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery Lord of the Hammond.

[mrjohn1964]

Sorry about the very bad news. Jon Douglas Lord is retiring for treating a cancer. Source from his official site.

Let´s pray to God to bless him.

[ritchierod]

Grande Maestro ! 

[LuigiMontanaro2]

E finalmente, cazzo!!!

Jon Lord for president.....

.... il tutto mi sembra un po' esagerato però se è Lord e personaggi come lui a meritare un rito del genere che ben venga pure!!

Deep Purple tutta la vita

[Cuoricine7]

@LuigiMontanaro2 Non è esagerato, gli viene riconosciuto il proprio talento e giustamente merita tutto ciò....hai ragione, Deep Purple tutta la vita.

[LuigiMontanaro2]

@Cuoricine7 Sì, ma io non mi riferisco a Jon, intendo dire che tutta sta messa in scena "papale" mi sembra un po' assurda!! xD

quei vestiti mi ricordano troppo le abominevoli manifestazioni religiose, etc. e allora mi fa un effetto strano vedere tutta quella gente in tonaca!! :)

... ovvio che Lord merita tutto questo, perciò ho detto "finalmente"!!! ;)

[Kaiser88Franz]

@LuigiMontanaro2 Forse perchè all'estero il conservatorio è una cosa seria......

[pantercigars]

@LuigiMontanaro2 fino alla fine....Lord è maestoso...mi sono sempre chiesto come non gli sia mai venuta voglia di prendere a calci nel sedere quell'altro mostro di talento Blackmore...gli voleva troppo bene!!

[BlackPurpleFish]

@LuigiMontanaro2 "Jon Lord for president"......Hell YEA!!!!!!!

[Darfra80]

@LuigiMontanaro2 bravo! L'unico commento che ho mai condiviso in tutta la mia storia di internet user

[GreggTedde]

Congratulations, Maestro! We all love you so much!
