Founding Member of Electric Light Orchestra Killed in Freak Accident

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Electric Light Orchestra founding member and cellist Michael Edwards died in a freak accident on Friday when a giant hay bale fell on top of the van he was driving. The saddest part? Edwards had reportedly beaten cancer and was only 62. What a tragic way to go.

Can’t remember any of ELO’s hits?

Check out some of their classic songs:

Livin’ Thing
Do Ya
Evil Woman
Strange Magic
Mr. Blue Sky
