Rusty Egan persuaded Billy Currie to ask Ure if he was interested in joining a revived Ultravox. In 1979, Ure and Billy Currie formed a close bond playing together in Visage. Ure continued to collaborate with Lynott, co-writing Lynott's biggest solo hit, "Yellow Pearl". At the end of the tour Ure left Thin Lizzy and returned to his primary interest at that time, Ultravox. In 1980, during the second part of this tour, Ure switched to keyboards, and was replaced by Dave Flett and then Snowy White as guitarist. Thin Lizzy then toured America and Japan. Ure also contributed guitar parts to "Things Ain't Working Out" and "Dublin" for the 1979 Thin Lizzy remix compilation The Continuing Saga of the Ageing Orphans. In July 1979 Ure stepped in to help Thin Lizzy complete a US tour following guitarist Gary Moore's abrupt departure. Ure already knew Thin Lizzy singer Phil Lynott, and in early 1979 Ure received co-writing credit for "Get Out of Here" on Thin Lizzy's album Black Rose.
