A legendary rock band from the 1970s and 1980s is headed back out on tour and is reuniting with its original frontman.
Foreigner, the iconic band behind such hits as "Double Vision," "Feels Like the First Time," "Hot Blooded" and "Head Games," announced on Wednesday, July 2, that in September, they are releasing the new album Foreigner 4 Deluxe and to promote it, they are reuniting with original lead singer Lou Gramm for a tour.
The album is part of the band's extensive celebration of its 50th anniversary. Foreigner 4 Deluxe will feature "extensive super deluxe editions" of the band's multi-Platinum 1981 album 4, which featured the hits "Urgent," "Waiting For a Girl Like You," "Juke Box Hero," "Break It Up" and "Luanne."

The new edition's 5-disc CD/Blu-ray package will feature five previously unreleased songs, as well as "14 early and alternate versions of various songs, 15 instrumentals, and 15 live performances from across the globe, spanning the band’s 1981 and 1982 4 World Tour. The digital deluxe release will also contain alternate versions, instrumentals, and live performances from the era," according to the press release. The album drops September 12.
"Recording our fourth album took the better part of two years. It was something that just had to be right, and I truly believe that Mutt Lange, Lou, Rick, Dennis, and I accomplished something very special. This package, and particularly the stunning Atmos mixes, present a spectacular culmination of one of the most exciting periods of my life," said founding member Mick Jones in a statement.
To coincide with the deluxe album's release, members Luis Maldonado (lead vocals/guitar), Jeff Pilson (bass), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitars), and Chris Frazier (drums) will "celebrate half a century of music with a new round of headlining tour dates which will include original lead singer Lou Gramm guesting on some of the songs he helped create almost 45 years ago."

We all had such a fantastic time performing and being together, and it’s with that same excitement I look forward to working with Lou again.
