Is Electric Light Orchestra still together?
Apart from a brief reunion in the early 2000s, ELO remained largely inactive until 2014, when Lynne re-formed the band with Tandy as Jeff Lynne's ELO.
Why did ELO split up?
At the same time, the advent of music videos meant ELO didn't have to doggedly tour in order to reach their audience. Itchy to actually play, Bevan dabbled in live work with Black Sabbath before reluctantly returning. "Basically, the band ended when we decided to stop touring," Bevan told Record Collector in 2012.

Correspondingly, who died from elo? Cellist Mike Edwards
A giant bale of hay has killed a founding member of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) band after it tumbled down a hill and crashed into his van. Cellist Mike Edwards, 62, died after the 600 kg (1,323 lb) bale rolled down a steep field in Devon, southern England, smashed through a hedge and careened on to the road.
Why did ELO change their name?
In 1989 original drummer Bev formed a group called ELO Part II and in 2000 The Orchestra, forcing Lynne to take legal action. "I named it that because it's always been my ELO," he says. "I thought it would be good to shorten it for a change, as I was getting fed up with the longwinded Electric Light Orchestra name.
What is ELO doing now? Currently, Jeff Lynne is the only founding member still in the group, as Roy Wood left in 1972 and the group disbanded in 1986. Although Bev Bevan and Jeff started ELO Part II in 1991, they both left the group after a few years.
And another question: who is the female violinist with elo?

The others members of ELO didn't have anywhere near the success Lynne had on his own, so in 1989, drummer Bev Bevan formed a group called ELO Part II, which by 2000 evolved into the Orchestra with a rotating crew of musicians.
Did Bevan and Jeff Lynne fall out?
Drummer Bev Bevan was around from their inception all the way through 1986's Balance of Power, but after Lynne dissolved the band in the late 1980s, he began touring with new musicians as ELO Part II. The spinoff group led to a massive legal battle between Lynne and Bevan, and they haven't spoken in three decades.
