Phil Mogg, vocalist of UFO, ruled out the possibility of new shows by the band, which announced their end in 2024. The 78-year-old musician, who suffered a heart attack in 2022, said in an interview with Eddie Trunk that his health is good but that he has no interest in reforming the band or doing a farewell show. He also commented on Michael Schenker’s recent album “My Years With UFO”. Phil Mogg of UFO has ruled out the possibility of new shows by the band "(My health is) pretty good. I could probably beat you around the block, a race, depending on what's at the end of the race, like the prize. But, no, it's pretty good. Pretty good. (But I got) plenty of issues. It's like an old car — bits fall off. It's sort of, you go for an MOT (British Ministry Of Transport test, an annual inspection of vehicle safety) now, and government check out, see whether everything's working. As it is, as you get slightly older, you notice certain things, which I'm sure most people do." "(I’m not interested in a final UFO show) I think that's like one of those kind of romances you can't go back to. It's an affair you had, which was great, and you dream and you say, 'Oh, that was great.' You feel like the woman (in question), you think [the relationship] was marvelous, and you go back to and you go, 'Nah, (it) wasn't.'" "I don't think you can go back to things like that. And I don't think you can kind of recreate it even. I mean, it'd be a bit of a laugh, but that's about it. No, I wouldn't want to try and get that back. It was a one-off, or a two-off, whatever, and I think I kind of like to leave things like that," Phil Mogg said (Transcribed by Blabbermouth). What Mogg said about Michael Schenker’s re-recordings of his songs with UFO "Well, I checked the PRS. I hope so (I will get publishing money from it)… No, I didn't. I kind of looked here and thought, 'Wow.' I sort of went, 'Wow. You are playing in a band, doing a cover band, playing cover songs of your own songs.' I find that kind of thing a bit tacky. Personally, if I was really looking to do new material, because you can put those numbers into your own set, if you want, but to do an actual whole tour with them is… well, quite unusual." "But I'm sure it was good. I wonder about some of the songs, doing them without a professional singer. (Laughs) Oh, stop it. See, look, you got me going, Eddie… No. Do you know what? I didn't actually take much notice of it. It's great. It's good that someone's out there playing the tunes," he said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8LAhjKLhro&pp=ygUIdWZvIGJhbmQ%3D
