Emerson participated in The Nice's reunion tour and a 40th anniversary show for ELP, preceded by a short duo tour with Greg Lake.  Apart from these reunions, he continued his solo career, releasing solo and soundtrack albums, touring with his own Keith Emerson Band, and making occasional guest appearances. Starting in 2010, he increasingly focused on orchestral collaborations. A documentary film based on his autobiography was reportedly in production at the time of his death in 2016.

====Reunion shows====
In 2002 Emerson reformed and toured with The Nice, though performing a longer set of ELP music using a backing band including guitarist/vocalist [[Dave Kilminster]].<ref name=anderson>{{cite web |url=http://s159645853.websitehome.co.uk/rockreviews/elp/R02oct06crs.htm |title=Keith Emerson & The Nice: London Royal Festival Hall: 6 Oct 2002 |last1=Anderson |first1=Doug |date=November 2002 |website=s159645853.websitehome.co.uk/ |publisher=Rock Reviews (RockReviews.co.uk) |access-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081005220747/http://s159645853.websitehome.co.uk/rockreviews/elp/R02oct06crs.htm |archive-date=5 October 2008 }}</ref> During the spring of 2010, he toured with Greg Lake in the United States and Canada, doing a series of "Intimate Evening" duo shows in which they performed newly arranged versions of the music of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Nice, and [[King Crimson]] as well as Emerson's new original composition.<ref name=prasadlake>{{cite web |url=http://www.innerviews.org/inner/lake.html |title=Greg Lake: New Perspectives |last1=Prasad |first1=Anil |author-link=Anil Prasad |date=2011 |website=innerviews.org |publisher=Innerviews |access-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150501201431/http://www.innerviews.org/inner/lake.html |archive-date=1 May 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.keithemerson.com/TourInfo/2010/20100211-EmersonLakeTourInfo.html |title=An Intimate Evening With Keith Emerson & Greg Lake |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=4 April 2010 |website=KeithEmerson.com |publisher=Keith Emerson |access-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140414184905/http://www.keithemerson.com/TourInfo/2010/20100211-EmersonLakeTourInfo.html |archive-date=14 April 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.keithemerson.com/TourInfo/2010/20100211-EmersonLake-Tour-dates.html |title=An Intimate Evening With Keith Emerson & Greg Lake (USA Tour Dates 2010) |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=18 April 2010 |website=KeithEmerson.com |publisher=Keith Emerson |access-date=13 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722171353/http://www.keithemerson.com/TourInfo/2010/20100211-EmersonLake-Tour-dates.html |archive-date=22 July 2015 }}</ref> On 25 July 2010, a one-off Emerson, Lake & Palmer reunion concert closed the [[High Voltage Festival]] as the main act in [[Victoria Park, East London]], to commemorate the band's 40th anniversary.<ref name=prasadlake /><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/x2rj | title=Emerson, Lake & Palmer High Voltage Review | publisher=BBC | access-date=12 March 2016 | author=Diver, Mike}}</ref>
