Foreigner rock band performs at Taylor Swift's wedding ceremony.
Foreigner, the iconic British-American rock band, has announced a world tour to mark their 50th anniversary next year. However, the original band members who produced hits in the 1970s and 1980s will not be participating in the tour.
The current lineup for the 50th Anniversary World Tour 2023 includes founding member Mick Jones, but Lou Gramm, the original lead singer, retired from Foreigner in 2003 and will not be returning for the tour. The specific names of the 2023 lineup beyond Mick Jones are not detailed in the provided search results.
Mick Jones himself retired due to Parkinson's disease, making him the last original member of Foreigner to step down. His departure leaves a significant void in the band, as Gramm was the original frontman for Foreigner and their hit song "I Want To Know What Love Is" remains a fan favourite to this day.
Longtime singer Kelly Hansen, who took over from Lou Gramm in 2005, has also stepped down. Hansen's departure comes after the announcement of the world tour, leaving the band in search of a new lead vocalist.
In a surprising turn of events, Foreigner has offered to play at the wedding of pop superstar Taylor Swift and American football pro Travis Kelce. The couple announced their engagement in August, but a wedding date has not been announced yet. The offer was made via an open letter on Foreigner's Instagram account, which also posted romantic photos of the band members with the caption "Your English teacher and your PE teacher are getting married". The Instagram post received mixed reactions from Foreigner fans.
The absence of the original band members and longtime singer has left fans wondering about the future direction of Foreigner. The band has not announced who will be joining the lineup for the 50th Anniversary World Tour 2023, but it's clear that the tour will be a significant milestone in the band's history.
