FOREIGNER On KLOS 95.5 FM: Interview, Acoustic Performance (Video)

October 4, 2013

On October 2, FOREIGNER took part in an interview and acoustic performance on the KLOS 95.5 FM radio station in Los Angeles, California. You can now watch video footage of their appearance below.

Long-estranged FOREIGNER co-founders Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, were inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame on June 13 at Manhattan's Marriott Marquis Hotel. Both Jones and Gramm, who parted ways in 2003 when Gramm quit the band, have suffered from health problems over recent years, with Gramm surviving a brain tumor and Jones recently undergoing open-heart surgery. Gramm, who still performs and is a born-again Christian, was replaced by current lead singer Kelly Hansen in 2005. FOREIGNER was inducted by Billy Joel, and Jones and Gramm reunited to perform "Juke Box Hero" and "I Want To Know What Love Is" to a massive standing ovation.

FOREIGNER's last studio album, "Can't Slow Down", came out in 2009.

Even though FOREIGNER has never fallen into the category of "critics' darlings," Jones told The Pulse Of Radio that the band's album sales and ticket receipts prove that FOREIGNER has always struck the right chord with fans. "How can you complain about people listening, and hearing, and your music reaching so many people?" he said. "I think it's wonderful. It's a great achievement to have these songs having stood the test of time like this, you know, and getting the amount of play they still do."
