'It means so much to me to release this book during the 50th
anniversary of ELO, and four years on from our Wembley Or Bust
concert. It was an unforgettable night and I'm excited to relive it
with all of you again inside these pages.' - Jeff Lynne In his
first official book, Jeff Lynne reveals the meticulous planning
leading up to the epic Wembley or Bust concert, and shares the
stories behind a career-spanning catalogue of songs. In an
exclusive new text, Lynne reflects on his formative years growing
up and his eventual success with ELO hits such as 'Mr. Blue Sky',
'Evil Woman' and 'Livin' Thing'. From his memories of producing The
Beatles' last single, 'Free as a Bird', to his anecdotes from
inside one of the greatest supergroups, the Traveling Wilburys,
Lynne also discusses his fascinating career outside of ELO. His
narration guides the reader through hundreds of exclusive
photographs taken specially for the making of this book. From
backstage to front of house, Wembley or Bust is Jeff Lynne's
account of a once-in-a-lifetime concert, and its significance
within the greater story of his career as one of the most popular
recording artists, songwriters and producers of all-time. 'When I
wrote and recorded these songs originally, I never would have
expected the fantastic audience response all these years later;
it's amazing.' - Jeff Lynne The music of Jeff Lynne is beloved by
fans all over the world and has been for three generations. Now,
after a hiatus of nearly thirty years, the multi-award-winning
songwriter, producer and founder of ELO has made a triumphant
return to touring. Since 2014, he has played across Europe and
North America, the high point for Lynne being his dramatic
homecoming for a crowd of 60,000 fans at Wembley. On 24th June
2017, London's historic stadium was transformed into one of the
greatest rock'n'roll spectacles of all time, as Lynne performed his
group's most extensive set list to date against a dazzling backdrop
of pyrotechnics, lasers and a giant ELO spaceship.
