Overview

  • Lynne canceled Sunday’s BST Hyde Park concert due to a systemic infection and will not reschedule the performance.
  • Supporting acts including Steve Winwood and The Doobie Brothers had their sets called off and fans will receive full refunds.
  • Organizers said Lynne is under medical care and has been advised against any further live appearances.
  • Earlier this week Lynne withdrew just before showtime in Manchester, making that event the tour’s de facto final performance.
  • The cancellation brings a delayed farewell tour—first announced before the COVID-19 pandemic—to an abrupt end and closes out ELO’s 55-year history.
