A 'what if?' question...
What if Bev hadn't sold his stake in ELO? Would he have been able to freely talk about what has happened in the 22 years since he did, or could Jeff have still vetoed anything like that? I'm sure this has been discussed before so apologies if it has...

Bev is getting ready to publish his autobiography, so whatever restrictions his deal with Jeff had - it’s not a total gag order.

This is a good interview and towards the end Bev talks about rejoining ELO, I liked his answer...

How can Bev be so magnaminous given what has happened? OK, he has made mistakes but c'mon Jeff, be a man and bury the hatchet....

Bev has a great memory. (probably a requirement to be a successful musician). But he and Joy need to work on their elevator pitch for Quill. I hope the new album is well received.

Bev is one of life’s good guys. I was wondering if Jeff will ever bring out his autobiography but I can’t see that ever happening.

In the next year or so we will have Bev's book coming out along with (hopefully) Shardender's book too. I reckon an autobiography from Jeff will be in the making just to balance things up a little...

Providing it's not delayed again, Jeff does have a book due on September 14th, but the reason it's not being heavily promoted is because it's just a hardback edition of the Wembley Or Bust companion piece with new "JLELO50" branding and little else to differentiate this from the earlier coffee table variant. You'll get a few insights into the creation of select tracks, plenty of recent group shots and... that's pretty much it.
As for Bev's book, it was originally due this year, only to be pushed back by quite a significant amount. What are the odds that it was so Jeff's team could go over this and ensure it doesn't cross any pre-determined lines agreed back in late 1999?
Then there's my book - is it too late for me to try and get something together for the 50th anniversary? Only time will tell, though I've long since given up on deadlines. This is still very much a pet project, and I have other more pressing real world commitments right now. Thankfully, I also have a group of people around me who have been more than patient. I owe them all massively!
