UFO

British heavy metal/hard rock band formed in 1969. UFO's story began in London back in 1969, when vocalist Phil Mogg, drummer Andy Parker, guitarist Mick Bolton and bassist Pete Way formed the group.
The global breakthrough arrived when German guitarist, Michael Schenker, joined the fold in 1973, having left his band Scorpions to follow an offer by Phil Mogg and Pete Way.
The band underwent numerous line-up changes, and to everyone's surprise, autumn 1993 saw the return of the former UFO line-up consisting of Mogg, Way, Schenker, Parker and Raymond. However, Schenker left UFO during the Walk On Water tour again to continue working with his own group, MSG. Phil Mogg and Andy Parker were still members of UFO by 2019, when the band began what they called a farewell tour. Mogg's health issues resulted in UFO cancelling what was planned to be one last tour in 2022, and in April 2024, he confirmed that the band was finished.
