new
frontman
Luis

Foreigner
Songs

Foreigner
played

introductory
shows
with
Maldonado
last
April
during
the
South
American
leg
of
this
tour.
Maldonado
had
originally

joined
the
group
in
2021
as
a
replacement
for
longtime
multi-instrumentalist
Thom
Gimbel,
after
earlier
stints
with

UFO,

Glenn
Hughes
and

Train.

Maldonado

Who
Is
Opening
for
Foreigner
on
Their
2025
Tour?

Maldonado
later
recorded
Spanish-language
versions
of
some
of
Foreigner’s
best-known
songs
before
filling
in
for
Hansen,
who
is

stepping
down
following
the
current
round
of
previously
announced
U.S.
shows.
Hansen
also
fronted
the
group
for
2009’s
gold-selling
Top
30
hit

Can’t
Slow
Down,
their
most
recent
album.

Gramm
has
been
taking
more

occasional
guest
turns
lately,
reconnecting
Foreigner
to
its
storied
past
after
stalwart
guitarist

Mick
Jones
left
the
road.
He’d
been
Foreigner’s
last
touring
cofounder
before
a

Parkinson’s
diagnosis.
Jones
has
since

released
a
new
song, “Shelter
From
the
Storm,”
but

won’t
be
attending
Foreigner’s
induction
into
the

Rock
&
Roll
Hall
of
Fame
later
this
year.

Constantine
Maroulis
will
be
opening
Foreigner’s
shows
in
December.
He
had
a
breakout
performance
on

American
Idol
before
playing
a
Tony-nominated
role
in

Rock
of
Ages
on
Broadway.
