Has the Electric Light Orchestra split up?

Jeff Lynne disbanded the group in 1986. He and founding member (and drummer) Bev Bevan shared equal rights to the name. In 1990, Dev wanted to record and tour under the ELO name again, but Jeff would not join or permit use of the name, but agreed to allow Bev to use the moniker ELO Part II (with provision that the record contain a label that Jeff Lynne was NOT part of the group). Eventually, Bev disbanded ELO Part II and sold his half of the ELO brand back to Jeff. Jeff began recording and performing as the Original Electric Light Orchestra in 2001 with the album 'Zoom'. Richard Tandy was the only original ELO member to contribute to the album, and tour. It's worth noting that ELO cancaeled their world tour in 2001 due to dismal ticket sales, although they did perform a series of limited shows in California, including material for VH1's Storytellers and the Zoom DVD. Jeff has yet to retire the ELO brand as of 2013. He recently released (another) ELO 'Best of' album of old rerecorded ELO tunes with a smaller or non existent string section, and no choir. Jeff played all the instruments on that latest work.

I believe Jeff is heavily involved in charity work these days. He has finally cut his signature tresses and made a generous donation to Locks of Love.

I have seen Jeff Lynne accompanied several times in pictures by Camilia Kath, ex-wife of Keifer Sutherland and ex-wife of a musician by the last name of Kath. I don't know if they are officially married but they were together as recently as when George Harrison got his star on Hollywood Blvd.
