RIP: Graeme Edge: Drummer and Co-Founder of the Moody Blues

Oh, man. One of my favorite bands. He had a unique style as a drummer, he also voiced many of the spoken parts of MB albums, such as Late Lament, the spoken poem that followed Nights In White Satin on the album and often played after it, and the opening that preceded Ride My See-Saw.

He retired from touring in 2019 but was still formally with the band.

He will be sorely missed. No cause of death was announced, but 80 years is a good long life.
