Richard Tandy, the keyboardist in Electric Light Orchestra , has died at the age of 76. His death was announced by ELO leader Jeff Lynne, who paid tribute to a 'remarkable musician'. Lynne wrote on X: '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.
Tandy also played the Minimoog synthesiser, a Wurlitzer electric piano, the clavinet, Mellotron and piano. He also lent his voice to the 1977 hit Mr Blue Sky and was a core member of the band through its ever-evolving line-ups, alongside Lynne and drummer Bev Bevan. The band split in 1986 but when Lynne reformed the group as Jeff Lynne's ELO in 2014, Tandy rejoined.
