My fave ELO song was “Fire In the Sky”.

To think that a “hay bale FROM the sky” would be the end of an ELO member...just dang.

Tragedy for music history. Always loved ELO.

RIP, Mike.

I saw them at the Hollywood Palladium in LA in the 70’s and remember Mike Edwards playing and strange outfits. It was a great show.

Funny that I just watched some ELO on Youtube night before last.

In their time they were fun, great and inovative.

Omg! I just spent yesterday listening to their songs and raving about how great they were.

Really sorry this happened, for the family, for the musician, and for the people out there that loved the music.

I’m so sorry. My DH and I were just showing our kids some ELO on YouTube a couple weeks ago. Back in their day people liked happy music. I miss that, and ELO’s sound. There was a lot to listen to in every piece.

What a great sounding band. Its a shame that they are dissed in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in favor of such acts as Elvis Costello and Isaac Hayes (WTH?) Nonetheless, Jeff Lynne has to be one of the most talented writers in history. If you check out the credits for the ELO song he is the sole writer for the vast majority of their work...Amazing.

I've always liked “Sweet Talking Woman” and “Calling America”. What a weird way to check out...the ‘wall of sound’ turned into a wall of hay. RIP

A runaway hay bale. Accidents don’t get more freakish than that. Don’t bring me down.

Very sad news. Going back before the big hit pop singles, I first discovered ELO on their revamp of “Roll Over Beethoven.” I always loved that unique, pumping, rock ‘n’ roll cello hook. I guess that was Mike Edwards.
