Jenny Way said in a statement: “My husband Pete Way has collapsed after a short business trip to Germany and is currently in hospital. He has had a heart attack and a blood clot has been found on his lung. Needless to say, I am in bits, but Pete is fighting like he always does. We are NOT going to lose another one. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.” h/t blabbermouth

In 2014, Way was given the all-clear after a battle with prostate cancer with which he was diagnosed the previous year.

UFO is perhaps best known for their hit song, “Lights Out.”
