Wonder if the only former members will be just Jeff Lynne and Richard Tandy. I got the impression that Lynne and Bev Bevan weren't on the best terms being as Lynne sued him to get the ELO name back.

Sad about the Bev Bevan brouhaha. Neat drummer.

I recently heard Bev and Jeff were talking a bit again. You have to know Richard Tandy will be there along with Roy Wood. But Mik Kaminski, Hugh McDowell and Louis Clark may be left out. They were still touring as some sort of ELO tribute band recently. Mike DeAlbuquerque and Melvin Gale may show up.

Btw, Bev Bevan was a great, GREAT drummer.

I loved the band, but aside from some cool drumming on Fire on High, Bev's drumming never impressed me. Maybe he was under utilized in ELO. Lynne seemed to prefer a simple snare rhythm that could be easily duplicated using a drum machine.

I know Bevan has reached out (or kissed arse, depending how you look at it) to Jeff on his (Bevan's) FB page a couple of times in recent years, so who knows...

He was solid, and had a 'neat' sound.
