I think I read that the re-recordings album is Jeff, Richard Tandy and members of The Heartbreakers. So maybe there will be a tour or a new ELO line-up for a new album out of that? I know Gregg Bissonette was the drummer for the 2001 live shows (all 2 of them!).
You'd think after Kelly Groucutt's sad, untimely passing he'd think "let bygones be bygones"... they aren't getting any younger. Although The Orchestra and ELO II have released some good stuff and are very good live.
