UFO - 50th anniversary and final tour

Post by Guller Bull » Sat Apr 06, 2019 6:43 pm

Those of a certain age and leaning will appreciate the farewell tour of a band that were proper rock/metal

Saw them in Glasgow last Sunday for the last time. ( Cant see them doing the usual comeback nonsense) - still rocking with the best.

I was a massive fan in my late teens and they were up there with the best rock bands of that era.


Any other fans?

Yes another great band.
The last three albums have been really good. On par with anything they did when in their glory days.

No. No comeback. Just not even going away by the looks of it...

Sad news for fans of the band in the immediate aftermath of the tour. To think he was giving it some just a few days before.
