UFO is busy in the studio comleting their 22nd album, the follow-up to 2015’s A Conspiracy of Stars, which is reportedly a collection of covers. The current lineup features original members Phil Mogg (vocals) and Andy Parker (drums), as well as Paul Raymond (keyboard/guitar), Vinnie Moore (guitar), and Rob De Luca (bass).
