Laine’s wife, Elizabeth Hines, announced his passing early Tuesday. Laine was a founding member of the Moody Blues and later was a member of Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles band Wings.
Laine, 79, died from Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD,) according to social-media posts from his wife.
Laine was known for such hit tunes as “Go Now” with the Moody Blues and “Mull of Kintyre” with Wings.
