Very sad news as we lose another of the old guard who were pioneers of the sort of music we love. I bet he had a very interesting and lively 80 years. RIP Graeme.

Sad news. I've always had a soft spot for the Moodies. I saw them in Birmingham back in 2015 and Graeme had his moment of talking to the audience (a bit like Bev, back in the day). He was talking about the passing of time and how long they'd been together. I distinctly remember him saying: "I remember when our teeth were white and our hair was brown. Now, my teeth are brown and my hair is white!" It was probably a well-worn routine but it went down well with the audience.
RIP Graeme Edge. Not to be forgotten.

A few years ago, I really got into the Moody Blues album Long Distance Voyager, and Graeme's song 22,000 Days still stands out as one of my favorites from that record. RIP to the legend.

May Graeme Edge rest in reace! "And the countdown continues on American Top 40, my name's Casey Kasem and we're doing it from Hollywood, #27, you know what bad luck is, listen to this story and you'll know what bad luck is, Graeme Edge the drummer of this English group once belonged to a group which was representing the city of Birmingham in a national British rock band competition, and they were very good, they made it to the finals, where they came up against a group that represented Liverpool, the group that represented Liverpool, that's right, The Beatles, now that's bad luck, but that was 7 years ago and since then luck's been a good bit better for Graeme Edge and the 4 other members of the group called, The Moody Blues, and here they are with their current hit single, the song is called Question..." - Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from July 4th, 1970

I guess the Days of Future have finally Passed.
I really liked the Moodies. They get less air time these days even on classic rock stations.
