Retirement? I hope not, but it fits with his touring band working on their own.

Maybe an announcement of a new album that Jeff Lynne teased in his Christmas 2021 message!

It would seem a bit cruel to tease us over a retirement announcement; one would think such an announcement would just be stated outright? My guess would be an album announcement (we know Jeff has been working on new material for a while) or maybe some show dates? (Probably not a fully fledged tour, but who knows?) I kind of hope it's new music, because I just had to take a month off of work to recover from major surgery, so my funds are low. I wouldn't want to miss out!

Isn't this the exact same way the promotional machine geared up for Jeff's last two albums? The only difference here is that either the new material he's been promising for a while (in addition to apparently needing a tape machine for his older recordings) was pushed back from Sony's established "last minute stocking filler" October/November release window, or it's possible the powers that be might have more faith than usual in this to provide a few summer hits. On the other hand, with the touring band members off doing other things with Take That, 10cc and even their own newly-formed supergroup for most of this year, maybe we're looking at a batch of festival dates between commitments? At least his ship looks as if it's still in good shape for a victory lap once around the sun, or whatever it does out there floating around in the void, but surely the great scrapyard in the sky must be waiting after that.

This can only mean one thing. Reunion with the living members of the classic lineup, plus Roy Wood in full gear. Well, no, of course not. But you can dream, can't you?

Perhaps Jeff is becoming a nephrologist?

When you click on book now, you can select a time and date to make an appointment. Maybe we can book Jeff to come around our house for a chat and a few nibbles.
