JAKARTA - The Grant's Rock Warehouse YouTube channel uploaded a video of Mark Goodman's interview with the original Foreigner vocalist, Lou Gramm on March 8 over The 80s Cruise.

Asked for his opinion on the Foreigner announcing the farewell tour, Gramm said.

"I think it's a good thing. At the point of the Foreigner's career, it's an epic career, I think it's going its own way. And these are good years for all those involved, especially the band that was the beginning of the Foreigner," said Lou.

"There was a change of personnel after that when I was still in it, and it was a really good band too. And Mick's plihan [Jones, founder and guitarist of the Foreigner] to keep this band after no original member other than himself, that's his choice. I can't understand... I know his health, he's ups and downs, "he continued.

However, Loe admits that she can't understand how this band can tour without original members and still call themselves Foreigners. And it's been going on for years.

"I don't think it's my business, and maybe it's a business decision for them, but it doesn't feel right for me," added Lou.

"To be honest, over the years [Mick has] appeared during half the show or he came on the last four or five songs of the set. And it seems he's been coming for the last song and the encore, and that's him. And then I know there are a lot, a lot of shows lately where he hasn't been at all," he added.

When asked about the possibility of appearing as a special guest at one of the events on the Foreigner farewell tour, Loe responded briefly. "I'm not sure. I'm very peaceful with where it is now and how it ends," he concluded.
