Photo: Michael Putland/Getty Images Graeme Edge, the co-founder and drummer of the British prog- and pop-rock maestros Moody Blues, has died at the age of 80. Edge’s family confirmed his passing to NewsNation. No cause of death was given, although the musician retired from touring with fellow band members Justin Hayward and John Lodge in 2018 because of unspecified health issues.
In a statement posted to the official Moody Blues Facebook page, Hayward memorialized his friend and bandmate of nearly five decades. “It’s a very sad day,” he wrote, in part. “Graeme’s sound and personality is present in everything we did together and thankfully that will live on.
