Foreigner has decided to extend its farewell tour and include a celebration of the band’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. Original band members will join them at select shows starting with Foreigner’s sold-out three-week fall residency at the Venetian, Las Vegas. Both Rick Wills and Al Greenwood, who are frequent guests of Foreigner, will sit in with the band they helped create for the entire residency. Discussions are in hand to include Lou Gramm as Foreigner moves toward its 50thAnniversary in 2026.
On Sunday, October 20th, Foreigner celebrated the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction with a very special halftime performance at the Cleveland Browns-Cincinnati Bengals game. Lead singer, Kelly Hansen, welcomed the crowd and announced future appearances by original Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members.
Kelly said, “Performing the incredible catalogue of music created by Mick Jones and the rest of the first incarnation of Foreigner is a dream come true for all of us. After twenty years of proudly flying the Foreigner flag, we are thrilled to be periodically sharing the stage with the guys who started it all as we celebrate their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame recognition”.

Foreigner is just a tribute band, and I agree, I don’t want to spend money to see a tribute.
The RRHOF induction, was what the tribute band plays, while a few singers, some just there for prestige only. Loe Gramm, should have sang an entire song, not just come out at the end, only to be drowned out, by Kelly Clarkson.
