In 2001, Jeff Lynne released another ELO album, ''Zoom''. However, only Lynne and Richard Tandy, the band's primary keyboardist, were featured. Lynne reformed the band with some new members and started a new tour. The tour, however, was cut short, primarily due to the illness and death of Lynne's close friend, [[George Harrison]].

* [[Artifact Title]]: As time went on, the role of the string section decreased, rendering the "light orchestra" part of their name more and more moot. By the release of ''Time'', the violins had disappeared entirely.

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Lead singer and [[Face of the Band]] Jeff Lynne conceived the band's idea with Roy Wood to be a sort of sequel to [[The Beatles]], taking rock music in the direction "that The Beatles had left off." He later worked with former Beatles members on various projects, including [[The Traveling Wilburys]] and producing the "Threetles"<ref>the nickname given to [[The Beatles]] minus the late [[John Lennon]], who went back into the studio together for ''The Beatles Anthology'' to record a few new singles</ref> singles "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love".
