Jeff Lynne

It was clear that he is not too well even though he managed the two Birmingham concerts. Having seen him perform on Sunday he looked frail and couldn’t play his guitar because of a hand injury apparently because he broke his left hand in a taxi accident.

This has now been reported by an audience member at last night’s Manchester concerts;

“Not sure the 2nd night in Manchester will happen after tonight. Jeff turned to a table at the side of him to get his drink and did something to his leg. We could hear him say ‘oh mi leg’, and then told the audience. Stage lad ran on with a chair that was too high for him and he sat there, kept sliding off it and couldn’t get near the mic. He was obviously in distress. Kept looking at the guitarist with a worried look on his face. They went straight into Mr Blue Sky instead of leaving the stage & coming back on for the encore and as soon as the last note was played they took him straight off.”

Keep well Jeff!
