A founding member of ELO has been killed following a freak accident involving a giant bale of hay.
Mike Edwards, 62, who played cello for the band for three years, died when the giant bale weighing 50 stone crashed down on top of his van.
Mr Edwards died instantly in the accident after the bale careered down the hill, and flipped over a hedge.

Thats sad news. ELO is probabaly one of the best groups ever to make music.

That news really did "bring me down". I have about 5 0r 6 of their songs on one of the memory cards for my mp3 player.

The Traveling Wilburys was a great compilation between George Harrison, Jeff Lynne (ELO), Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, accompanied by drummer Jim Keltner.The band recorded two albums between 1988–1990, although Roy Orbison died before the second album was recorded.
I really enjoyed their music and the talent/creative art they brought to the music scene.
Ah yes...the good old days of GOOD (-1995) music...

One of the best live concerts I ever saw was ELO in the late 70's.

Too bad it wasn't a founding member of the PLO.

It just goes to show that when it's your time, it's your time. What a shame. I really like ELO. I have a few of their LPs, my favorite being "Out of the Blue"...... :(
