Jeff has always kept a low profile so I’m not surprised we haven’t seen any direct messages on social media from him. But I was thinking he’s lucky enough to have a home recording studio at Bungalow palace. He also said he had hundreds of songs stored away on cassettes. So could he not weave his magic on even one song and release it for streaming by his fans. It would be a great way of keeping the ELO band wagon rolling in 2020. That is a great idea. Maybe he and some of his friends could do an album to help fun research for a vaccine.

This was the right call. Health is more important than concerts, sports..etc.

Paul Heaton and Jacquline Abbot (both ex-beautiful south) are doing concert free for Health/Key workers at an appropriate point, be lovely to see him do something similar wouldn't it.

That's a bummer, everyone.

I'd expected that news. There isn't much prospect of ANY live event going ahead this side of Christmas.
Never has our species had a more serious wake-up call than Covid-19.
Given his age, I'm hoping that Jeff keeps safe. That's the most important thing.
For now, we sit tight and help each other to keep our spirits up.
On that note...

Just a silly hypothetical question to ponder -
Which would be worse: Jeff not being able to tour ever again because of the virus OR Jeff deciding himself not to tour ever again?

To me,the virus would be worse.Jeff has a new enthusiasm for touring so this would affect him as well as us...

I'm sure Jeff's been keeping himself happy in the studio, but hopefully he'll be enthusiastic as ever to return to touring once this is finally over (instead of deciding he's content to not come out of the studio for another 15 years...)

What’s the plan for the JLELO European tour? Is Jeff planning to do those dates when the Covid stats are low enough?
I heard today that Genesis is going to tour starting in November. In fact they’ll be in DC early in the tour. There’s also a music festival that is planned near me in August. So live music is making a comeback.
And how about The Orchestra? What did they do when Lou was ill in 2015? I’m not sure who could fill his role. Lou Jr?

My husband and I had tickets to two summer concerts in 2020. Our Hall and Oates tickets from August 2020 have been refunded, but the June Doobie Brothers concert was rescheduled to July 2021. It will be interesting to see if they keep to that.

The European tour was completely cancelled and refunds given I doubt it will be rearranged any time soon.
I’ve got a outdoor festival gig rearranged from last Sept to Sept 21 to see OMD and an indoor gig to see OMD in Nov hopefully these will go ahead.

No official news, but someone on Facebook who says he knows Jeff indicated Jeff told him he sees no reason not to do another tour "when it's safe." There will be many other tours jockeying to schedule arena dates in 2022, but I'm hoping Jeff Lynne's ELO can secure some of them, either in the US or Europe. Or Australia/New Zealand? Now I've jinxed it.
