Foreigner got its start in New York City in 1976 with guitarist Mick Jones, vocalist Lou Gramm, drummer Dennis Elliott, keyboardist Al Greenwood, bassist Ed Gagliardi, and multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald.

The band has nine studio albums to its credit, with the first five releases landing in the Top 5, including a #1 album, 4, in 1981.

Foreigner has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide.

On the singles chart, the band has nine top 10's, including the #1 'I Want to Know What Love Is' in 1984.

Gramm left in 1990, but has appeared with the rest of the band off and on from 1992–2003. Earlier this year, Jones revealed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease years back. He hasn't toured with Foreigner since 2023.

Kelly Hansen has been the band's lead singer since 2005.
