John Lodge Says Moody Blues ‘Won’t Tour Again’
Moody Blues fans have been watching and waiting, as the songs says, for something new from the band. But singer-bassist John Lodge isn't talking out of turn when he says such hopes may rank among, well, their wildest dreams.
"I don't think there'll be anything with the Moodys," Lodge says from his home in Naples, Fla., where he's been spending part of his quarantine writing and recording new material. "I know the Moodys won't tour again. I would tour, but I know Justin [Hayward] doesn't want to tour with the Moodys, so it won't happen." Lodge adds that he's none too happy about it, "but it's life, you know." And it's given him a charge to keep the group's music at the forefront of his own performances.
