'His final days were filled with music, encircled by the love of his family. Michael lived his life with a childlike wonder, walking a deeply introspective path which fused the mind and the heart.'
It comes after the band's original singer and guitar player Danny Laine died in Naples, Florida, last year.
Laine's widow Elizabeth reached to Pinder's death on Instagram Wednesday.
'Very sad news, the last of the original lineup of the Moody Blues has passed away,' she wrote.
'He is now reunited with Denny, Ray, Graeme and Clint; what a joyous reunion that must be.'

Pinder was one of the Moody Blues' original members, joining Ray Thomas and Laine in 1964 to form the band.
They reached stardom with their version of Bessie Bank’s song, Go Now.
But the Moody Blues struggled to match their initial success, and by 1967 Laine had left, replaced by Justin Hayward.
The Moody Blues then turned to the ambitious, classically influenced sounds of 'Nights in White Satin' and other songs.
Pinder released a solo album in 1976 titled The Promise.

After reuniting with the band in 1978 for a single album, named Octave, Pinder moved to Grass Valley, California with his family and worked in the tech industry, per Variety.
He stayed out of the public eye after moving, and did not return to music until 1994, when he released his second solo album.
Born in Birmingham, Pinder was married to Donna Roth from 1970 to 1974, and they had one son together named Daniel Elan.
He then married American Tara Lee and the couple had two sons, Matt and Michael Lee.
The Moodys were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
