 Read MoreThe platinum-selling double-LP, Out of the Blue, appeared in 1977,
although the record's success was tempered somewhat by a lawsuit filed by
Electric Light Orchestra against their former distributor, United Artists, whom
the band charged flooded the market with defective copies of the album. Columbia
distributed the remainder of the group's output, issued through their own Jet
Records imprint, beginning with 1979's Discovery, which notched the Top Ten
entries "Shine a Little Love" and "Don't Bring Me Down." In the wake of ELO's
best-selling Greatest Hits compilation, Lynne wrote several songs for the
soundtrack of the Olivia Newton-John film Xanadu, including the hit title track.
The next proper Electric Light Orchestra album, 1981's Time, generated their
final Top Ten hit, "Hold on Tight." Following 1983's Secret Messages, Bevan left
the group to join Black Sabbath, although he returned to the fold for 1986's
Balance of Power, which despite the presence of the Top 20 hit "Calling
America," received little interest from fans and media alike.

However, as Electric Light Orchestra's career descended, Lynne emerged as a
sought-after producer, helming well-received comebacks from George Harrison
(1987's Cloud Nine) and Roy Orbison (1989's Mystery Girl) and additionally
re-teaming with both rock legends as well as Bob Dylan and Tom Petty in the hit
supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. Lynne made his solo debut in 1990 with
Armchair Theatre but otherwise spent the decade out of the limelight, instead
producing material for Joe Cocker, Tom Jones, and Paul McCartney in addition to
working on the Beatles' Anthology project. In 1988, meanwhile, Bevan formed
Electric Light Orchestra Part II with vocalist Neil Lockwood, keyboardist Eric
Troyer, and bassist Pete Haycock; although Lynne filed suit against the group
(hence the "Part II" tag), a self-titled LP followed in 1991, with a live
collection recorded with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra appearing a year later.

In 2001, having successfully secured the rights to the Electric Light Orchestra
name, Lynne recorded the album Zoom -- largely by himself -- and released it as
an ELO album. After Zoom, Lynne took time off from ELO, working on several
projects including his 2002 collaboration with George Harrison, Brainwashed, and
his 2009 collaboration with Tom Petty, Highway Companion.

In 2012, Lynne returned to ELO with Mr. Blue Sky, an album of re-recorded
Electric Light Orchestra songs. In 2013, Lynne released a solo album of '50s and
'60s pop hits titled Long Wave, as well as the ELO album Live, which featured
concert performances ELO recorded during the tour for Zoom. Two years later,
Lynne revived ELO -- this time the billing was Jeff Lynne's ELO -- for Alone in
the Universe, his first album of originals in 14 years. It appeared on Columbia
Records in November 2015. With new songs at their disposal the band went on
tour, including dates in America, festival appearances, and a U.K. show at
Wembley that was recorded for their 2017 live album, Wembley or Bust. ~ Jason
