A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez.

Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra is saying goodbye. The group is going on a 31-show North American farewell tour. Known for hits including "Xanadu" and "Mr. Blue Sky" - that's the song you're hearing now - ELO has sold over 50 million albums since the band formed in the 1970s. Sales for the newly announced shows start tomorrow.

It's MORNING EDITION.
