Richard Tandy, the Electric Light Orchestra’s keyboardist, died this week. He was 76.

The rock band’s founder, Jeff Lynne, shared the news on social media Thursday.

“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,” Lynne wrote in an Instagram post.

Tandy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. A cause of death was not revealed.

ELO was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 alongside Joan Baez, Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Yes, Journey and Nile Rodgers. During the ceremony, Lynne took to the stage to honor Chuck Berry with a performance of “Roll Over Beethoven.”

In March, the band – known for hits such as “Strange Magic” and “Don’t Bring Me Down” – announced its final tour, The Over and Out Tour, would be performing across North America from August through October.
