ELO
"It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of my long-time collaborator and dear friend Richard Tandy. He was a remarkable musician & friend and I'll cherish the lifetime of memories we had together. Sending all my love to Sheila & the Tandy family" - Jeff Lynne
He’s been unwell for a while.
RIP 😔
For all the credit Jeff Lynne rightly receives for being ELO's writer/producer/singer and guitar player, none of those big hits/classic albums would have been the same without the amazing keyboard work of Richard Tandy. Unless I'm mistaken, Tandy played on every ELO album except for the first, and some of the recent "Jeff Lynne's ELO" albums.
shareJeez, sorry to hear that.
Great music, I just mentioned ELO to AndyKing the other day in an unrelated thread because he loved them a lot.
