So now we’re going to go next year, but we have obligations here (in the states), too. “Part of it is we realized we kind of had to make up lost ground a little bit, so we knew we would have to work a little bit harder this year and next year, for sure, and kind of make up that lost time (of touring),” Hansen said. The group - which includes band founder and guitarist Mick Jones, bassist/keyboardist Jeff Pilson, keyboardist Michael Bluestein, guitarist Bruce Watson drummer Chris Frazier and guitarist/bassist Luis Maldonado - has 121 shows booked overall, with the band hitting 71 cities in the United States this year.
Now Hansen and the rest of Foreigner are back on tour and doing it in a big way.
In fact, I had kind of in the back of my mind been saying to myself I wonder if there’s a possibility that I could kind of take six months off or something and take a break because we had been hitting it eight, nine months a year for 15 years in a row.” I’m in a fortunate position so I wasn’t affected really too much in a negative way. And I was able to get a lot of stuff done and do a lot of things. But then as time rolled on, I realized I had never been able to watch four seasons happen in real time in my own house. So yeah, that was something I was able to do. “And especially the first few months were really great and it was enjoyable and it allowed me to rest my voice in a way that I hadn’t been able to do that for quite a long time. “I have not had this kind of time off in 15 years,” Hansen said in a recent phone interview, as he looked back on the forced hiatus from touring.
That wish more than became true when the pandemic hit and he and his Foreigner bandmates were forced to take time off for some 18 months. Kelly Hansen, lead singer of Foreigner, could probably say he now has a true appreciation for the cautionary saying “Be careful what you wish for…”īy the time 2020 rolled around, he had actually begun to think he would really benefit from taking a break from the nearly non-stop routine of touring that had been a way of life in Foreigner since he joined the group in 2005. Hansen also dissed the Real Housewives franchise by saying he didn’t think he could “tolerate being around those horribly obnoxious women from one of those shows for more than 5 minutes.Features, Music INTERVIEW WITH KELLY HANSEN//LEAD SINGER OF FOREIGNER At the time, Hansen told TMZ he was shocked by all the publicity Schon brought to Foreigner’s tour with Journey simply by being the “other man” in a celebrity love triangle. While Hansen hasn’t spoken out about a past fling with Margaret, he interestingly had something to say in 2011 ago when Journey guitarist Neal Schon was involved in an affair with Real Housewives of D.C. Hansen is now married, and he posted a photo of him and his wife, Anna, days after they wed in May 2020. It is unclear if the rocker was in another relationship at the time he hooked up with Margaret Josephs. He is the third lead singer of the band known for the 1970s/’80s radio hits such as “Hot Blooded,” “Cold as Ice” and “Juke Box Hero.” Hansen followed longtime lead singer Lou Gramm and short-timer Johnny Edwards as frontman of the iconic band. A post shared by Kelly Hansen Hansen, now 60, formed the rock band Hurricane in the early 1980s, then later joined the already-established British-American band Foreigner in 2005, per Celebrity Net Worth.
