"It's not a priority for me at the minute," Way says in an interview in the forthcoming new issue of Classic Rock. "I don't have a burning desire to do it. Have I been asked? Yes, I've been asked but I wasn't in a place to be able to do it when I was asked. I wish them all the best, I do, honestly."

Way, who founded UFO in 1969 with vocalist Phil Mogg, drummer Andy Parker and guitarist Mick Bolton, has spent several periods in and out of the band.
