ELO last successfully toured the U.S. in 1981. That is 26, soon to be 27, years ago. Given that history, and given the fact that Jeff is not on good terms with some of his former bandmates, I think it is fair to say that ELO will never tour again. Even that comment he made this past summer when he signed an autograph outside an LA restaurant seemed to confirm that fact.

Jeff not too long ago lamented the fact that the Traveling Wilburys never toured when Harrison was alive. I have never heard him lament the same thing about ELO.

I'm surprised that this Forum is up and running over 6 years after the collapse of the Zoom tour and the lack of any new ELO albums in that time frame. I'd buy an ELO concert ticket in a heartbeat, but I just don't see it happening.
