HEXXENMEISTER ROY WOOD WURDE 75
Teilen
Roy Wood war einer der ausgefallensten Künstler der 60er und 70er Jahre. Schon Move, für die Wood die meisten Songs schrieb, fielen durch eine exaltierte Bühnen-Show auf. Zusammen mit Jeff Lynne gründete er das Electric Light Orchestra, dessen Sound auf dem Beatles-Song “I Am The Walrus“ basierte. Als sich die Spannungen der Leitwölfe Wood/Lynne zuspitzten, trennte sich Wood von ELO und gründete Wizzard. Die Band lief unter Glam Rock, hatte allerdings ein bombastischen Sound, der alles unter sich begrub. Mit Wizzard landete er mehrere Hits und war nach der Auflösung der Band solistisch unterwegs.

With Wizzard he landed several hits and became a solo artist after the band broke up.
