Foreigner had its heyday in the late 1970s and 1980s with many hits such as Freezing, hot-blooded, double view and I want to know what love is.
The age and health of the members of the group explain their decision to announce a final tour.
It was a very difficult decision
said Kelly Hansen, the group’s lead singer since 2005, in an interview with the magazine billboard.
The parts directory [de Foreigner] is quite a challenge for a rock singer like me. I never thought that I would still be singing these songs in these keys at my age [61 ans]and I don’t know how much longer I can continue at this level.
The only original member, British guitarist Mick Jones, has become something of a special guest at the band’s performances, appearing when his health allows.
Tickets for the 2023 tour go on sale on Friday. Additional show dates, both in North America and around the world, should be announced for 2024.
Since forming in 1977, the group has released nine studio albums, including the latest, Can’t slow downin 2009.
