John Lodge of the Moody Blues has passed away, suddenly and unexpectedly, at 82
https://ultimateclassicrock.com/moody-blues-john-lodge-dies/Stalwart Moody Blues member John Lodge has died, his family confirms in an official statement. No immediate cause of death was reported. He was 82.
"Our darling husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and brother has been suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us," according to the news release. "John peacefully slipped away surrounded by his loved-ones and the sounds of The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly. We will forever miss his love, smile, kindness, and his absolute and never-ending support."
Lodge was bassist, co-lead singer and songwriter with the Moody Blues, who formed in 1964. They've sold more than 70 million records worldwide and were inducted into the Rock & Roll hall of Fame in 2018.
"As anyone who knew this massive hearted man knows, it was his enduring love of his wife, Kirsten, and his family, that was the most important thing to him, followed by his passion for music, and his faith," the release added. " We are heartbroken, but will walk forwards into peace surrounded by the love he had for each of us. As John would always say at the end of the show, thank you for keeping the faith."
