Michael Pinder (Moody Blues) RIP

Posted by his son on his Facebook page, Mike Pinder Mellotronman, but it’s a private group. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?id=288846087823790&story_fbid=25453079220973796

 

That link appears broken, but this one works. Very sad news. Candle of Life indeed.

RIP

 

Rate the Moody Blues before and after Mike Pinder left the group

 

Sad. Another one the greats is gone.

 

The Moodies' secret weapon. RIP.

 

I believe he’d been (quietly) dealing with dementia of some kind for years.
Founder and in many ways the heart and soul of the Moody Blues. And a brilliant innovator — nobody could come close to his mastery of the Mellotron.

 

Booo. RIP

 

Such an incredible musician.

Sad day for music.

 

This is very sad news indeed. Thanks for the music, Mike.

 

Oh man! RIP Mike Pinder.

I’ve shared this before but it’s always worthwhile and just really good.

One of the great aspects of the first 15 minutes or so is the camera view of Mike playing the Mellotron. The man in action. It’s so good.

 

RIP, rest easy Mike. Thank you for all the contributions to the musical awesomeness of the Moody Blues

 

So every member of the original Moodies is gone now... =/

 

R.I.P. Mike Pinder. Truly a giant.

 

Not unexpected at this point, but still sad.
We lost Ray in '18 and Graeme in '21.
Now it's just Justin & John.

 

R.I.P.

 

Ah crap. One of my favorites, in one of my very favorite bands.

There’s not much else I can say.

RIP Mike .

 

R.I.P. Mike . . . . . . and thank you.

 

An amazing artist who turned me on to the mellotron. He will be greatly missed!

 

R.I.P. You were amazing.

 

A giant. Sad news.

 

The king of the mellotron. What a legend.

R.I.P.

 

Enjoy your trip thru eternity Mr Pinder

 

What a talented and crucial part of The Moodies’ sound. Pinder was probably THE finest mellotron player ever.
