Kelly Groucutt, who played bass for 1970s band ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), died Thursday at the age of 63 after suffering a heart attack.
Groucutt's management said the musician died Thursday in Worcester, central England, after having a heart attack.
Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1971 by local musicians Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood, ELO - short for Electric Light Orchestra - combined rock 'n' roll with orchestral arrangements replete with string sections, choirs and symphonic sweep.
