So Foreigner Is Retiring...

Mick Jones is hanging it up. Foreigner will spend 2023 on a farewell tour and Loverboy will provide support. The tour starts in early July - so yes, we are getting more and more summer concert announcements now. Good - gives us something to look forward to as the winter weather sets in!

Tickets go on sale November 18 via Live Nation.

Farewell Ian McDonald

Ian McDonald - guitarist (and so many other instruments) and co-founder of Foreigner and King Crimson - has died. He was 75 and the cause was apparently cancer. I'm definitely more on the Foreigner side of things. A few Foreigner tracks are simply iconic, including "Cold As Ice."
