Lou Gramm Hospitalized

Lou Gramm of Foreigner is ill. In fact, he was just hospitalized. Foreigner was due to tour very soon and now Gramm will miss at least four shows. The band will go on without him for those shows and it seems Gramm will be back on the road soon. Lou Gramm is 69.

Lou Gramm was hospitalized in Rochester, NY last week with a severe respiratory infection, dehydration and fatigue. He had hoped to be ready for the FOREIGNER Double Vision: Then & Now tour. Unfortunately, today his doctor pronounced him unable to perform at these shows. pic.twitter.com/o8nwNowD32

Ric Ocasek, Eddie Money ... Their recent passing and now Lou Gramm and Biff Bifford recently having to deal with health unissued all make us realize what Allyson posted about ... If there’s a band you love on your bucket list or want to catch one more time, do it now!

And to the bands — stay together or get back in your original or classic line-ups one more time while everyone’s still around, please!

"And to the bands — stay together or get back in your original or classic line-ups one more time while everyone’s still around, please!"

True MB, but you left out the most important part, which is, if you arent gonna tour with at least two of the original members, its time to give it up. Unless theyve passed on, of course. Which in the case of a few bands, Skynyrd, etc., is exactly what has happened.

Sad but true, BK.

Skynyrd is the perfect example of a band who should hang it up if they haven’t already done so.

In fact, they shoulda called it quits decades ago!
