- The family of The Moody Blues founder Mike Pinder have announced that the keyboardist has died at the age of 82. A cause of death has yet to be confirmed.
The official statement regarding Pinder’s death read: “Michael Thomas Pinder died on Wednesday, April 24th, 2024 at his home in Northern California, surrounded by his devoted family.”Michael’s family would like to share with his trusted friends and caring fans that he passed peacefully. His final days were filled with music, encircled by the love of his family. Michael lived his life with a childlike wonder, walking a deeply introspective path which fused the mind and the heart.”He created his music and the message he shared with the world from this spiritually grounded place; as he always said, ‘Keep your head above the clouds, but keep your feet on the ground.’ His authentic essence lifted up everyone who came into contact with him. His lyrics, philosophy, and vision of humanity and our place in the cosmos will touch generations to come.”Pinder was the band's original keyboardist and vocalist, and he played a key role in shaping their sound; his use of the Mellotron, an early type of synthesizer, was particularly influential in the band's music and helped define their progressive rock style.Pinder was involved in many of The Moody Blues' early albums, including "Days of Future Passed" (1967), "In Search of the Lost Chord" (1968), and "On the Threshold of a Dream" (1969). His distinctive vocals and keyboard work contributed to the band's success during their peak years, but he would leave the band in 1978 expressing a desire to spend more time with his family and take a break from the demands of the music industry.

Thanx for help making all that great moody blues music possible Mike, you've never left us,
I have listened to the music of The Moody Blues since day one. A fabulous group. May Mike rest in peace.
Thank you for your many talents Mr. Pinder. You will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
Good by Mike, (Mr. Mellotron)
RIP Mike.. I need more mellotron
his voice was the spoken poetry on such albums as On the Threshold of a Dream,. That album looms large in my teenage years in the 70s. I hear Send me No Wine and I am back on Cape Cod walking to Sea Street beach....and looking for Tommy Kelly.
Good, well written narrative news about the life & passing of the great Michael Pinder, co-founder of The Moody Blues...but if you don't mind me saying too much...that the text-to-voice simulation software implemented to construct the voice-over, really needs quite a bit of tweaking and/or updating.
Thank you,
