Foreigner joins a whole list of bands currently on their farewell tours that include Kiss, Elton John, and Roger Waters. Mick Jones announced that Foreigner are hanging it up with a YouTube video that has the band’s Kelly Hanson on a mission to make the perfect tour announcement video. It’s the Historic Farewell Tour hitting the United States next summer.
Band founder and guitarist Mick Jones says, “Many years ago, I wrote a song called ‘Feels Like The First Time’ and today we are launching one last worldwide tour. We will be presenting a show that I know will have the same enthusiasm as our very first appearances. The tour will start this summer in America and we hope to get to every place that we have played over the last several years. While I’m sure our fans will have mixed feelings about the end of the road for the band, I know our shows are going to delight audiences everywhere.”
Loverboy will serve as the tours opener.
