“Many years ago, I wrote a song called ‘Feels Like the First Time,’ and today we are launching one last worldwide tour,” founding member Mick Jones said in a statement. “We will be presenting a show that I know will have the same enthusiasm as our very first appearances. The tour will start this summer in America and we hope to get to every place that we have played over the last several years. While I’m sure our fans will have mixed feelings about the end of the road for the band, I know our shows are going to delight audiences everywhere.”

The band, which is known for hits like “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded” and more, also is set to continue its long-term initiative with the Grammy Museum Foundation. Throughout the trek, the band will invite choirs to open the shows with a live a cappella performance of classic rock songs.

Foreigner will join radio partners across the country to create a contest for local choirs to win donations to their music programs. One winning choir will be selected at each show, and that choir will receive a grand prize for new musical equipment. More details are available via foreignerchoirs.com.

“The time has come,” added lead singer Kelly Hansen. “We have more or less lived our lives on the road for almost eighteen years. We have always strived to give you our best and we intend to finish this the same way. Foreigner has a brilliant and increasingly demanding catalogue of songs to sing and I refuse to give them less than they deserve.

“So, we’re going to finish strong. I want to make it very clear how grateful and appreciative we are to our audiences all over the world who have supported this band. I’m sure there may be occasions when we’ll do some special appearances, but I think the time is coming for us to live off the road. Thank you all so much!”
