Iconic ‘70s rock band reuniting with original lead singer for new tour

Foreigner, the legendary rock band from the 1970s and 1980s, recently announced that they are reuniting with its original front man, Lou Gramm, and going on tour.

On Sept. 12, the band is releasing a new album, Foreigner 4 Deluxe, as part of a celebration of its 50th anniversary. Foreigner 4 Deluxe will feature “extensive super deluxe editions” of the band’s multi-Platinum 1981 album 4, which featured the hits “Urgent,” “Waiting For a Girl Like You,” “Juke Box Hero,” “Break It Up” and “Luanne,” according to reports from Parade.

“Recording our fourth album took the better part of two years. It was something that just had to be right, and I truly believe that Mutt Lange, Lou, Rick, Dennis, and I accomplished something very special. This package, and particularly the stunning Atmos mixes, present a spectacular culmination of one of the most exciting periods of my life,” founding member Mick Jones said in a statement.

The CD/Blu-ray package will feature five previously unreleased songs and “14 early and alternate versions of various songs, 15 instrumentals and 15 live performances from across the globe, spanning the band’s 1981 and 1982 4 World Tour,” according to reports.

And the digital release will contain alternate versions, instrumentals, and live performances from the era, according to reports.

“Earlier this year, we toured Mexico and South America with the incredible Lou Gramm. We all had such a fantastic time performing and being together, and it’s with that same excitement I look forward to working with Lou again,” Luis Maldonado, the band’s lead vocalist, said in a statement.

“He was an integral part of the writing and recording of the Foreigner 4 album, and his presence will add a historic dimension to our forthcoming tour.”
