Wow. Sorry to hear that.

I love "Fire on High."

That was my original #1 band...went to the "Spaceship" concert at the ripe age of twelve years old and still think it the best "show/concert ever.

Will never see concerts like those again "sigh"

Very sad- I liked ELO as a teen. They were very Beatles-oriented.

They were schlocky, but man - I loved 'em! One of my most prized possessions is my purple vinyl "Fire on High" 45. "Turn to Stone" is probably my favorite ELO song, along with "Don't Bring Me Down". That drum groove is infectious. Their videos were pretty cool, also - very hip for their day.

RIP Kelly :cry:

Those are two of my ELO favorites, too.
