This Tuesday (5), the renowned English guitarist Denny Laine, at age 79, left us. A key member of the band Moody Blues, he achieved global recognition by co-founding the iconic band Wings alongside Paul It is Linda McCartney. The sad news was confirmed by his wife, Elizabeth Mele.
Born on October 29, 1944, Denny Laine followed his musical journey in several smaller bands before joining M&B 5. To such an extent that he would later be known as the Moody Blues. Then, as the group’s lead singer, he lent his voice to their first big hit, “Go Now”, whose video became a reference in the production of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
After his time with the Moody Blues and collaborations with several artists, Laine joined forces with the former Beatle Paul McCartney. So, together with Linda McCartney, they formed Wings in 1971. During the band’s 10-year existence, they went on a world tour, received numerous awards and even received an Oscar nomination for the song “Live and Let Die”, from the franchise. James Bond. One of England’s most iconic songs, “Mull Of Kyntire”, is signed by Denny Laine and McCartney.
Wings departure
In 1981, Laine announced his departure from Wings, due to Paul McCartney’s reluctance to resume touring, impacted by the trauma related to the death of John Lennon. Later, after participating in two of McCartney’s solo albums, the partnership was broken. In 2007, the two met again backstage at a UB40 concert.
Unfortunately, Denny Laine did not achieve the same success in his solo career. Recently, his family mobilized a campaign to raise funds for treatment against Interstitial Lung Disease. So his departure occurred on the same day that the album “Band On The Run”, one of the milestones in his career with Wings, turned 50 years old. Denny Laine’s musical legacy will forever echo in music history.
