Phil Mogg announced earlier this year that UFO was over but recently the radio host Eddie Trunk, who is a huge fan of the band, said the band should make a final show at least. Now in an interview with Rock Candy magazine, their classic guitarist Michael Schenker said he would be open to play one last show with the band.
He is currently promoting his new album “My Years With UFO”, which covers tracks he recorded with the band and the band’s vocalist Phil Mogg is promoting his debut album with the new band Moggs Motel.
Michael Schenker said about playing one final show with UFO
“I don’t know if Phil’s physically fit. But I’ll certainly think about a final UFO show if the possibility arises.” He also said he invited Mogg to be on his new re-recordings album “but I’m not sure the message got to him. Managers can be funny sometimes.”
The band’s original drummer Andy Parker told Rock Candy magazine that he would also be up to playing one final show with the band.
Formed in London, England in 1968, they became in the following decades one of the most influential Hard Rock bands of all time. Besides Mogg, some of the other classic members of the band were Pete Way (Bass), Andy Parker (Drums) and Michael Schenker (Guitar).
In almost five decades of career, the band released 22 studio albums, the final one being “The Salentino Cuts” (2017). They were a huge influence to famous bands like Iron Maiden, for example. For decades, the Metal band plays their song “Doctor Doctor” as the intro of their concerts. The band’s leader, the bassist Steve Harris is a huge fan of UFO.
Some of their most famous tracks are “Doctor Doctor”, “Rock Bottom”, “Mother Mary” and “Lights Out”.
