John Lodge: 20 July 1943 to 10 October 2025
In a statement shared with Fox News Digital on Friday, Lodge's family said that he died "suddenly and unexpectedly." The family added that Lodge "peacefully slipped away surrounded by his loved ones and the sounds of The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly."
Birmingham-born Lodge joined The Moody Blues in 1966, two years after its formation, along with fellow singer Justin Hayward, following the departure of Denny Laine and Clint Warwick. He remained with the band until they stopped performing live in 2018.
My guess is that if the press has much to say about John Lodge, you will hear "Nights in White Satin," a lot, because that is one of the few songs that people can identify as being by The Moody Blues. Lodge did perform on it, but he did not write it.
This song is "Ride My See-Saw" by The Moody Blues from their 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord. This song was written by Lodge.
