Rock Legend Denny Laine, Co-Founder of Moody Blues and Wings, Dies at 79

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Laine's contributions to music spanned decades despite industry disputes.

Denny Laine, co-founder of the Moody Blues and Wings, has died at age 79 from interstitial lung disease.
Laine was known for his contributions to both bands, including vocals, guitars, percussion and keyboards on all seven of Wings' studio albums.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Moody Blues in 2018.
Despite his success, Laine had a tumultuous relationship with the music industry, leaving the Moody Blues over a financial dispute and later falling out with Paul McCartney over business affairs.
Laine continued to tour and record in recent years, and had announced tour dates for 2023, but his health issues forced him to cancel them.
