A former member of the Electric Light Orchestra was killed Friday afternoon in southern England.
Mike Edwards, a cellist with ELO between 1972-1975, was driving in Devon when a giant bale of hay struck his van. The bale, which may have fallen from a nearby tractor, rolled down a hillside onto the road below.
After being hit by the 1300-pound object, Edwards may have swerved into another vehicle. The 62-year-old musician died at the scene.

Watch Taylor Swift’s New Music Video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Upcoming Releases, Country,
Missed the multiple channel debut for Taylor Swift’s new video? Don’t worry—we’ve got it for you right here.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the country star explained the story about “Mine,” the first single off her upcoming album. “My tendency to run from love. Every really direct example of love that I’ve had in front of me has ended in goodbye and has ended in breakups and things like that. So I think I’ve developed this pattern of sort of running away when it comes time to fall in love. This song is sort of about finding the exception to that.”
While I’m personally still years away from imagining the 20-year-old as a married woman with children, I can now see her perfectly at home in a future Nicholas Sparks film.
Speak Now, Swift’s third album, will drop on October 25.
