In a recent interview with Eddie Trunk, Lou Gramm shared conversations he’s had about reuniting with his former Foreigner bandmates. “Foreigner’s management asked me if I would be interested in doing some shows with the band,” the 74-year-old singer revealed. “They want to do a substantial tour of the world, which doesn’t appeal to me.” Gramm is open to doing a shorter run of U.S. shows, but was told he could only sing specific songs for the band, and that current frontman, Kelly Hansen, would handle the rest of the set. “I said, well I’d like to do ‘Jukebox Hero.’ [Foreigner’s manager] goes, ‘I’m not sure about that,’” Gramm disclosed. “I said, ‘Well, I definitely want to do ‘I Want to Know What Love Is.’ He says, ‘I don’t think so, Lou.’ … So it sounds as if he talked to Kelly about it and Kelly made his claims on certain songs. Their concerns [are] about Kelly’s ego.” (Ultimate Classic Rock)
