Lodge was born in Birmingham and joined The Moody Blues in 1966, just two years after the band's formation, as reported by Reuters. His arrival marked a turning point as the group drifted from its R&B origins toward the realm of symphonic rock. Lodge remained with the band until it ceased live performances in 2018, after Graeme Edge. The same year, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The band's 1967 album, Days of Future Passed, is considered one of the first concept albums, blending rock with classical music. The album also featured the hit single Nights in White Satin.
