Denny Laine, Longtime Member of Paul McCartney’s Wings and Moody Blues Cofounder, Dies at 79
Denny Laine, the British singer-guitarist best known for his work with Paul McCartney & Wings and the Moody Blues, has died after a long battle with interstitial lung disease, according to a social media post from his wife. He was 79.
Born Brian Frederick Hines on Oct. 29, 1944, in Birmingham, the same musically fertile city in the British Midlands that spawned such bands as the Move and Electric Light Orchestra (whose drummer Bev Bevan had been a member of his band Denny Laine and the Diplomats), Laine was barely out of his teens when he joined a new local act led by Ray Thomas and Mike Pinder.
