- Nov 14, 2021
Der Mitbegründer und Schlagzeuger von Moody Blues ist am 11. November mit 80 Jahren an Krebs gestorben. Er war seit 1964 das einzige konstante Mitglied der Band. Edge schrieb anfangs Texte für die Band, steuerte ab Ende der Sechziger auch Kompositionen bei und übernahm zeitweise Aufgaben als Sänger. Ab 1974 betätigte sich Edge mit den Gurvitz-Brüdern (Gun, Baker Gurvitz Army) in der kurzlebigen Graeme Edge Band, mit der er zwei Funk- und Soul-dominierte Alben veröffentlichte (KICK OFF YOUR MUDDY BOOTS, 1975 und PARADISE BALLROOM, 1977).
The co-founder and drummer of Moody Blues died of cancer on November 11 at the age of 80. He was the only constant member of the band since 1964.
Edge initially wrote lyrics for the band, also contributed compositions from the late sixties and at times took over duties as a singer. From 1974, Edge was active in the short-lived Graeme Edge Band with the Gurvitz brothers (Gun, Baker Gurvitz Army), with which he released two Funk- and Soul-dominated albums (KICK OFF YOUR MUDDY BOOTS, 1975 and PARADISE BALLROOM, 1977).
