Electric Light Orchestra drummer Bev Bevan calls the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 'a once in a lifetime opportunity.'

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'd like to be there," Bevan said.

"I was chuffed, just thrilled. I guess everybody is when they get it. I can't imagine anyone not being.

I thought it was fantastic. I had a lot of friends calling me, texting me, emailing me to say congratulations.

It's been really good."

Bevan also said that he'd like to see the original lineup of the band - Jeff Lynne, Richard Tandy and Roy Wood - reunite onstage for a performance at the induction ceremony, if only for one song.

Bevan was a member of ELO through 1986's Balance of Power and until the band itself was dissolved.

Bevan then began touring with new musicians as ELO Part II.
