Graeme Edge moved to Bradenton over twenty years prior 

In a 2017 meeting with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune after the fresh insight about The Moody Blues' enlistment into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Edge said he'd moved to Bradenton over twenty years prior, when residing in a home in the Point Pleasant area on the Manatee River. He got to know Anna Maria Island through cruising and became hopelessly enamored with the space, which he called at that point "the last hipster station." 

"Everything was so loose," Edge said. "You could just get onto the island with two scaffolds, so in those days there was very little traffic. It was warm and radiant." 

Graeme Edge stayed an anchor all through The Moody Blues' set of experiences 

All through The Moody Blues' set of experiences, Edge stayed an anchor, both in solid and soul. 

"In the last part of the 1960's we turned into the gathering that Graeme consistently needed it to be, and he was called upon to be a writer just as a drummer. He conveyed that flawlessly and splendidly, while making an air and setting that the music couldn't have ever accomplished without his words," Hayward said in his post. 

"Graeme, and his folks, were exceptionally kind to me when I originally joined the gathering, and for the initial two years, he and I either lived respectively, or nearby to one another - and in spite of us sharing barely anything for all intents and purpose, we had a good time and chuckles right, just as making what was likely the best music of our lives," Hayward proceeded. "Graeme was one of the incredible characters of the music business and there won't ever be his like again." 

Graeme Edge, drummer and establishing individual from The Moody Blues, has passed on at 80. 

Hayward and bassist John Lodge joined The Moody Blues in 1966, following the flights of artist/guitarist Denny Laine and vocalist/bassist Clint Warwick. Their appearance changed the sound of the band, which at first inclined in the direction of R&B/rock, guided by Edge's drumming, on early melodies "Go Now" and "I Don't Want to Go On Without You." 

Cabin remarked on Twitter about the death of his long-lasting bandmate: "Tragically, Graeme left us today. To me he was the White Eagle of the North with his excellent verse, his kinship, his adoration forever and his 'interesting' way of drumming that was the motor room of the Moody Blues. I will miss you Graeme." 

The band is generally credited with building up standard prog-rock. Their subsequent collection, 1967's idea record "Long stretches of Future Passed," turned into the north star for acts like Genesis, Yes and Electric Light Orchestra. 

After certain breaks during the '70s the Moodies, as they were known to fans, reemerged during the 1980s and turned into a far-fetched presence on MTV with shimmering pop hits "Your Wildest Dreams" and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," loaded up with brand name layered vocals and synthesizers.

Their last collection, "December," a Christmas-themed discharge, shown up in 2003. It was the band's first collection following the retirement of individual unique part Ray Thomas, leaving Edge as the excess establishing player. (Keyboardist Mike Pinder, likewise an establishing part, left the band in 1978.) 

The Moody Blues left on what might be its last visit in 2017 for the 50th commemoration of "Long periods of Future Passed." In 2018, Edge and the band were enlisted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That fall, the triplet played a progression of dates zeroed in on "Long periods of Future Past" in Las Vegas.
