Lou Gramm joined the current lineup of Foreigner during a concert Saturday night, performing two of the band’s classic hits at the end of the show.
Gramm took the stage at The BayCare Sound in Clearwater, Florida, to perform “I Want to Know What Love Is” and “Hot Blooded.”
Gramm, who has mentioned retirement multiple times in recent years, said in a November interview with Sirius XM’s Eddie Trunk that 2025 would finally mark the end of his touring career.
“I think I’m going to go [tour] until May or June of next year and then I’m going to go off the road,” Gramm said. “And that’s gonna be it for me.”
In the same interview, Gramm expressed his hesitations about performing with what he described as “another band that calls themselves Foreigner.” He mentioned discussions with Foreigner’s management about a potential tour but cited discrepancies over the songs he would perform.
“There are particular songs that are my trademark songs and if I can’t sing them, I don’t want to be out on the road,” he said. “It’s frustrating, but I don’t want it to be frustrating. I’ve been thinking about it for about a month, that’s when I found out that I couldn’t sing my own favorite songs on the tour. So I think I’m just going to tell them I’m not interested.”
