Subject: Denny Laine, Wings and Moody Blues musician, dies age 79
Written By: Philip Eno on 12/05/23 at 1:01 pm
Denny Laine, lead singer of the Moody Blues and a guitarist with Paul McCartney's band Wings, has died at the age of 79.
His wife Elizabeth Hines said he died after a long battle with lung disease.
"I was at his side, holding his hand as I played his favourite Christmas songs for him," she said in a statement.
Among other achievements, Laine sang on the Moody Blues' multi-million selling Go Now and co-wrote the Wings hit Mull of Kintyre.
Born Brian Hines, he grew up in Birmingham and was inspired to play guitar by jazz legend Django Reinhardt.
In the 1960s, he formed a band called Denny and the Dilpomats, which featured future Wizzard singer Roy Wood.
After they dissolved, he created The Moody Blues, who scored a number one hit with Go Now and followed it up with a number of R&B-influenced singles like From The Bottom of My Heart.
