Electric Light Orchestra's final concert on July 13 was canceled due to Jeff Lynne's health issues. He experienced serious health problems leading up to the event, including a systemic infection that prevented him from performing. Concertgoers expressed concerns about his ability to deliver a cohesive performance. Lynne expressed regret over the cancellation but emphasized the importance of his health and plans for future music. Despite the cancellation, he described the concert as an emotional experience and a full-circle event for the band.
Jeff has been battling a systemic infection and is currently in the care of a team of doctors who have advised him that performing is simply not possible at this time nor will he be able to reschedule.
The legacy of the band and his longtime fans are foremost in Jeff's mind today - and while he is so sorry that he cannot perform, he knows that he must focus on his health and rehabilitation at this time.
It will certainly be an emotional show for me. It has been great getting to tour the world and to this day at every show I am always surprised and delighted by the crowds and the energy they bring.
While Jeff Lynne previously hyped up ELO's Hyde Park show as a full-circle moment, he stressed it wasn't a farewell to music, as he was eager to make a return to the studio.
