Moody Blues singer and bassist John Lodge has passed away at the age of 82. The sad news of the artist's passing was announced by his family.
"It is with deep sadness that we announce that John Lodge, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and brother, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. As all who loved him know, the greatest love of his life was his wife Kirsten and family, while he had a great passion for music and his faith," the announcement reads.
"John passed away peacefully, with his loved ones by his side and listening to the music of the Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly. We will forever miss his love, smile, kindness and tireless support. Our hearts are broken, but we will move forward wrapped in the love he left us. As he always said at the end of every concert: 'Thank you for keeping the faith,'" they added.
John Lodge was born in the Erdington area of Birmingham and attended Birches Green Junior School, Central Grammar School and then Birmingham College of Advanced Technology. In 1968 he married Kirsten and together they had two children. The Moody Blues song "Emily's Song" is dedicated to their daughter.
The British musician was one of the key figures in the band's success, contributing to some of their most popular songs, such as "Nights in White Satin", "Question" and "Isn't Life Strange".
Lodge was part of some of the Moody Blues' most important projects, including the psychedelic 1967 album "Days of Future Passed," which is considered one of the first concept albums in rock history, as well as the follow-up album "In Search of the Lost Chord" (1968), where the band experimented with bolder sounds.
Between 1969 and 1972, Lodge contributed to the albums "On the Threshold of a Dream", "To Our Children's Children's Children", "A Question of Balance", "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" and "Seventh Sojourn", with which the Moody Blues consolidated themselves as one of the most important progressive rock bands.
