Phillip John 'Phil' Mogg (born 15 April 1948, in Wood Green North London), is a vocalist for the band, UFO which he formed with longtime friends Pete Way and Andy Parker. They recruited guitarist Mick Bolton but later Mogg had a run in with Bolton which ended up in Bolton being fired. UFO had been touring with such bands like Scorpions. When Mogg and UFO needed a guitarist they got Michael Schenker at the ripe old age of 19 to join UFO. Mogg wrote the majority of the bands lyrics with the music being written by Way, Schenker and later Raymond, but Schenker left to fulfill his solo career in 1979. In 1997 Mogg and Way put out a solo album called Mogg/Way. With UFO on hiatus, Phil formed the side project $ign of 4 . In late 2003 having regained the rights to the UFO name from Schenker, Mogg spoke with Pete Way, Paul Raymond and ended up having a reunion tour which later brought the band back for good. The band then put out 5 new albums such as Flying : The Early Years, An Introduction To UFO CD, Showtime, The Monkey Puzzle, You Are Here.
