It's April 22nd. This is Music News Today, your AI-powered source for everything music. Lou Graham, the original voice of Forner, just drops some heavy news about founder Mick Jones. In a recent interview on April 22nd, 2026, Graham revealed Jones is in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease and can't perform anymore. That's why Graham's hitting the road as a special guest on the band's 50-year anniversary tour to honor Jones and keep the music alive. Graham personally promised Jones he joined the tour and it lit him up with joy. He praises the current lineup for nailing the classic sound, staying true to the album versions, which makes it smooth sailing for his vocals. These guys treat the songs with respect, and Graham's all in, calling it the right move for the band's legacy. Fans remember Graham belting out massive hits like feels like the first time, cold as ice, hot-blooded, and I want to know what love is back in the 70s and 80s. There was tension between him and Jones over song credits, especially on that big ballad, but after their Hall of Fame reunion in 2013, Graham's moved on, letting old grudges fade.
Fast forward, Kelly Hanson took over vocals in 2005, but announced last May he stepping away after the summer 2025 tour. Guitarist Louis Mouthonato, formerly with train and Lisa Marie Presley, is now the new lead singer and guitarist, bringing fresh energy to Jeff Pilsen. On bass, Michael Bluestine on keys, Bruce Watson on guitars, and Chris Frazier on drums. With Graham out there channeling the glory days, foreigners proving rock legends don't fade. They evolve, keeping mixed vision rocking strong for, years to come.
