Foreigner Keyboardist Michael Bluestein Says 'People Should Be Excited' for Sunday's Show

  • Foreigner is touring the U.S., including a stop at Arnolds Park, Iowa, on Friday as part of Kelly Hansen's farewell tour in 2023.
  • This tour began because Hansen announced in May 2023 that he would step down at the end of the summer after twenty years with the band.
  • The band is transitioning by replacing Hansen with rhythm guitarist Luis Maldonado, who is endorsed by founding member Mick Jones and original frontman Lou Gramm.
  • Jeff Pilson, who has played bass for Foreigner since 2004, described the replacement of Kelly Hansen by Luis Maldonado—approved by Mick Jones and Lou Gramm—as a very positive development, while Bluestein praised Maldonado as an exceptional performer.
  • Despite no original members currently touring and Mick Jones retiring due to Parkinson's disease, Foreigner plans to continue producing music and performing beyond Hansen's departure.
