"I've broken my nose, I've broken ribs. You name it. In fact, we just got back from South America, and I fell over a monitor speaker on the stage and almost ended up in the front row of the audience. I managed to sprain my wrist on that one but luckily nothing was broken"

This quote by Keith Emerson talks to the physical risks that come with being a musician. He has experienced a range of injuries, from broken noses and ribs to a sprained wrist. He is no complete stranger to the risks of performing, as he just recently had a close call while on trip in South America. He tipped over a display speaker on phase and practically wound up in the front row of the audience. Fortunately, he only sprained his wrist, however it is a reminder of the risks that come with being a musician. This quote shows that Keith Emerson is a devoted and enthusiastic artist, happy to take risks to put on a fantastic show.
