Moody Blues singer and bassist John Lodge has died at 82. On Friday, his family shared the news in a statement on the musician’s official Facebook page.

They didn’t reveal a cause of death, but they said he died “suddenly and unexpectedly.”

The statement said, “It is with the deepest sadness that we have to announce that John Lodge, our darling husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and brother has been suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us.” “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,” they wrote, referring to how Lodge was an evangelical Christian.

My favorite song was their first one, “Go Now.”

So he suffered an attack of “unexpectedly”? Though, given that he was 82, it isn’t entirely unexpected, really.

At the ripe old age of 82, death isn’t ever sudden or unexpected.

“Go Now” featured Denny Laine (lead vocal) who immediately left the group to join a newly formed “husband-wife” band called Wings.

Not sure whatever happened to that upstart band...

I was singing along with “Once Upon A Time” at Walmart today.

Had I seen ya, I’d have joined ya. One of my favorite songs. I listen to it and get teary, remembering college.
