Schenker’s core band for the record features keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Black Country Communion), drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne) and bassist Barry Sparks (UFO, Dokken) on bass.

“For the first time ever, Michael Schenker returns to his classic years with UFO, revisiting the era that catapulted both him and the British hard rock band to international stardom,” his label earMusic said in a statement.

“Touring the globe as a teenager, Schenker became a driving force behind some of UFO’s most beloved tracks… During these meteoric years, the albums Phenomenon, Force It, No Heavy Petting, Lights Out, Obsession and the seminal live album Strangers in the Night were released, each contributing significantly to the genre.

“Now, Michael Schenker is set to celebrate those glory days with his new album, My Years With UFO, alongside today’s rock elite.”
