You go Lou! Rochester, NY loves you!!! Drugs didn't make him look this way! Lou had a serious brain tumor, we're all lucky he survived so we didn't have to lose another rock legend!!
Después de su operación..nunca volvio a cantar como antes... ! A esta canción le ha bajado dos tonos y ni aun asi puede alcanzar a las notas.... triste pero real.....
@buckeyesrule10 If you are saying that based off this video, you are a complete tool. Lou Gramm had a brain tumor removed in the 90's, which effected not only his weight but his voice as well. Plus Lou is in his sixties here and Kelly Hansen is younger. Lou Gramm in his prime would destroy Hansen. Lou had better range and better lyrics, and in my opinion, better tone. Kelly Hansen is making a career off someone else's hardwork. Question, What did Kelly Hansen ever write that became a huge hit?
@ooJUKEBOXHEROoo Lou would destroy Kelly? c'mon now. Kelly is good in his own right, and what does it matter if Kelly never had a hit? lots of great singers out there that will never get their due. I've followed both Foreigner and Kelly's past band Hurricane, and Kelly has a hell of a strong voice, you have to give him that. give a listen to Hurricane's song "over the edge"
@slowpoketony I agree that Kelly has a good voice. But no way in hell is he as talented as Lou was in his prime. Anybody that knows anything about music can clearly see that. And you stated, "what does it matter if Kelly never had a hit?" Are you serious? There's a reason why Hurricane wasn't uber successful like Foreigner was. Simply put, Foreigner was a more talented band with WAY better songs. Hurricane was just another hair band lost to obscurity.
@buckeyesrule10 May you never age or suffer life-changing illness. Perhaps you will always remain "young". I just wonder what you will do and how you will feel if those close to you prefer the "younger" you to who you are after life has had a "bite" at you.
@buckeyesrule10 yes he is... but did you know, that lou, the original singer, sounded realy great in former times. the poor guy suffered from a brain tumor.
Lou Gramm is my favorite singer of all time. Reason I say that is because he has a interesting individualistic tone/timber, great vocal range, and quality lyrics. In my mind, what more could I ask for in a singer?! He has inspired me to seek out my own vocal talents. This has to be my favorite song of all time. Good to see him singing after all those health problems. LONG LIVE GOOD MUSIC, and the 80.s!
Sad... he is off pitch. I can understand Foreigner changed the lead singer. The new lead singer for Foreigner is way better singer. I feel bad for making this comment. Love Lou when he was the lead singer for Foreigner.
I defy ANYONE to survive the trauma & recovery Lou went through & be able to make it back onto the stage & perform. His example is a Lesson & GIFT to us all! BRAVO LOU! GOD BLESS YOU!
BEing a nurse myself, and undering what patients go through. I applaud you Lou Gramm for continuing to work and giving us joy hearding your amazing voice!!
I don't see the big deal, I think he sounds good here. He's an old guy for pete's sake. If you want to hear horrible singing put my name (jim ciminelli) into the itunes store search engine.
Graham was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1997 and the treatments damaged his patuitary gland as well causing him to gain tons of weight. Considering everything, it's really brave of him to try.
Why is this so perfect ... in my country a woman the same age if I'm not mistaken, is not so bad, what happened lou ......??? your music is still great with Foreigner .. never too late to go back later .... is for you do not want back what inspires him in life .... greetings from Chile ....
That can ... guess that is the age ... but It might be possible to make adjustments to the voice in some way ... anyway ... very good theme music real foreigner ... slated to meet again. .. music is worthless now ... many times .... greetings from Chile ... Lou Gramm
I don't think he sounds that bad....I think his timing is off, but a lot of singers are that way live....frankly, I think he sounds a lot better than Robert Plant does, or Joe Eliot. I think Coverdale prob sounds better than Lou, but really, I don't think Lou is sounding bad here....
Lou still has it!!! He done made his bones and really shouldn't have to defend himself against anyone. If you like Foreigner's music.....yes, that's Lou. Lou WAS Foreigner.
@gaae2000 he had a brain tumor operation several years ago, as a result a long list of health problems developed after. basically he suffers the same effects as somone thats had a stroke.
great song..but wrong version..but ...thats fine....all i want is to dedicate to kitty, my dream girl from long island...i would die to have her in my life and im never giving up on her..NEVER...if it fails, no more ladies for me...i've been waiting for a girl like her since ive been divorced and in no time, i fell for her..damn..damn..damn....still waiting and wont ever stop kitty from bellmore ny..i love u..x0x0x0...
God bless Lou Gramm. To come back and do this for us is just unbelievable after all he's been through. And yes, that is Greg Lake on acoustic guitar in this video. What an honor, I wish I could see Lou Gramm Band, he is getting better and better.
Lou had a brain tumor and had it removed at Bostons Brigham and Women's hospital. He toured with Foreigner a few years after the surgery . He is on steroids which cause weight gain. To tour and continue after what he's been thru is amazing. God bless him. And let's hope he stays healthy and gets back with Foreigner
The creepy percussionist at 15 seconds, was apparently Rebecca Black's father who died only hours after his performance here in a bizarre toaster accident. Read this on 4chan, I believe.
@JohnathanPozzi He went through having a brain tumor removed, radiation and chemo, he looks and sounds great. He is also 60 years old. He is the greatest singer/song writer ever.
@JohnathanPozzi its the cancer meanie. the cancer did this to him. most people don't sound this damn good or look this good after brain cancer. most people die from it. the cancer he had kills most people. it was that deep in his brain. dont' diss a legend. your couldnt do half as good.
Lou will always be a part of Foreigner ... THEN ... but he just can't sing this stuff anymore today. Sounds terrible. So glad Mick Jones has found a new singer (Kelly Hansen), who is brilliant, as well as all the other musicians around him. Thanks Mr. Jones for keeping the band going - LOVE YOU !
As a, guitarist,bassist, vocalist, writer, all I can say is this man is doing the best he can with the tools God allowed him to have. Now after what he went through I do believe that the good Lord left him with some fine abilities. :) Anybody slamming him should really listen and realize that he STILL has a better voice than a great many out there.
Cut him some slack, he'll be back in full form in no time..May God continue to bless him as he's endured quite a trial!
Hey - he might look like hell and make some mistakes....but that man set millions womens' and girls' hearts on fire for a long, long, long time!! God bless him for pushing himself to get up and out to do this!! I'd feel so honored just to get one small kiss from the guy!!! Lou, Baby....you RULE!!!!!
@MrBrandonGibson: not just to slam back dude but you're wrong about his pitch and I should know, I have 4 EMMY awards so don't talk pitch or music if you don't LIKE what you're hearing...just say you don't like it. People want to see the original artist do their songs even if they are half-dead and this guy fought back from almost certain death. Give him a break for adding beautiful music to the sometimes ugly world.
@Pauly1313 Many people still don't know how sick Lou had been and that he got operated. I had send Mr. Brandon a personal message and he understood then when I did explain about Lou's illness at the time and what the operation did to him. So it's ok and not needed to get back at him.
Such an inspiration... to go from being renowned, world class vocalist to a jaded, shadow of his fomer self due to the tumors and operations. He shows us all not to give up what we love and continue with his performing. I am gutted his voice isn't what it was but he deserves all of the praise and recognition... Lou Rocks!!
I love Lou Gramm! Once upon A time in the 80's with Foreigner and then in the early to mid 90's when he formed Shadow King. He isn't what he once was but, he still is one of the greatest and most recognizable voices of that era! I love you you Lou!
the voice isn't bad at all,needs a bit excercise that's all. i think he have to take remedis And.for the ones here they haven't realized yet...life isn't a party for every one.there ppl on this planet ,they fighting for living...
Takes guts getting back on the stage after having a brain tumor removed...you go Lou...much respect, and yes he performed live a little later again with foreigner and sounded great....a true voice of rock.
Tut mir leid, für mich (halbjunger Mensch, Foreigner "nur" in den 80ern kennengelernt, hört sich das immer noch super an. Ich kriege eher das Grausen, wenn ich den Jagger da rumhopsen sehe .-) .
Go baby!! It's still Lou no matter what! Just saw Foreigner in concert 2 days ago and the replacement singer sounds alot like him, if he didn't, i wouldn't have wasted my time! Lou's sound is what i'm after when it comes to their music.
Shit - this is really bad - the guy is really off - slurred speach, totally off pitch - not good. He shouldn't be performing. It's embarassing. We'll always remember him from the 80's so let's just remember the good times. Time to give up Live singing.
@MrBrandonGibson Well, this performance is from some years ago, he has improved since then and there are a lot of people who still appreciate his singing, so I guess there is enough reason for him to go on singing in puplic :-) But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion!!! As long as it stays in reasonable words, then it's ok with me.
@MrBrandonGibson Mr. Gramms had several operations for brain tumors he's been through hell and still doing something he loves give him a break. Still better then Me.
@MrBrandonGibson In April 1997, two months after providing vocals for Christian rock band Petra's Petra Praise 2: We Need Jesus, and on the eve the band was to leave for a Japan tour, Gramm was diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called a craniopharyngioma. Although the tumor was benign, the resulting surgery damaged his pituitary gland. In addition, the recovery program had caused Gramm to gain weight, and likewise affected his stamina and voice. He continued to work with Jones.
@zigertube Be nice to this person. Mr. Brandon got a personal message from me where I did explain Lou's situation and he understood and was respectful. So there is no need to get to him like this. Please, don't use this site of mine to start a small war or anything.
@MrBrandonGibson My time on earth has taught me that loving people have empathy! Good for you Lou to get back up there and do what you were meant to do!! Luv ya:)
@MrBrandonGibson It is the result of his Gramm's brain surgery on its pituitary gland and the medication that is takes. That is why he looks so different now. He is slowly recovering over the years. The important thing is that he completely turned his life around and got of drugs and is a devoted father and Christian. Fantastic man on many levels!!
Braintumor or not He had a great voice but this is really embarrassing. I don't even recognize his voice, Not only the sound but also the timing... Please Lou, I love you but you really should just give up singing for good
I seen him in PHILLY at the Keswick theatre with Foreigner and Mick Jones kept looking at the rest of the band when Lou was singing. He is a fukn mess. He almost fell off the stage. His voice is an absolute mess. He had one of the best voices in the industry. Go get a desk job Lou. Everyone was embarrassed
For what it's worth, I have a lot of respect for Lou. Then, and now. He's inspiring. Brain tumor? Glandular problems? Severe loss of range? Change the key of the song and move on. He Manned up. Love you, Lou.
@CowbellProfessional How awful people here trashing him. How many of these idiots commenting look feel or sound like they did in their twenties????? Life is a bi@#h and we all get older and have health issues at some point. These desktop critics couldnt carry a pubic hair on this guys nutsack!!!!
God Bless Lou Graham! He had to have a brain tumor removed! He has guts to keep singing! It will come back the more he sings. It is more of an effort but he will sound the way he wants to again! I believe in you Lou! He is an awesome vocalist! Keep on singing Lou! <3
So ist das Leben! Die die auf Konserve singen gehen kein Risiko ein, Lou wusste es genau was er tut und ich finde das mutig und mag ihn deshalb mehr denn je! Danke Lou für die geile Zeit mit Dir. Wir haben Dir sehr viel zu verdanken und sind mit Dir älter geworden.
@erv66 ...indeed, so sad! struggling in the notes, a mere flicker of the flame that once burned so bright. I hate disease and sickness that can come in a day and destroy a lifetime!
This is aweful. I am shocked to hear him sound so bad. He doesn't sound anything like his former self. Now I am actually happy to say that they replaced him with someone who actually sounds like Lou did back in his hey day. I always enjoyed foreigner, so I was curious to find out what happened with the lead singer. And now that I know, I won't be listening to him much more. What a shame.
@Tjs964 Have a heart. He went through an operation to get rid of a brain tumor. How would you talk or sing after something like that? Hes doing great and every day even better under those circumstances.
@Tjs964 Sorry folk, this comment is dedicated to all the friends who are posting points of view about the eroded image of Mr. Gramm...You all should know that Lou passed trough severe brain cancer and just after the surgery he decided to keep rocking..Just that gesture proves what a human with soul power can do!!!!!!!!!...so please...make some research after post what's on your mind friends!!!!!...Best regards...and Lou, you are an inspiration! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
A true legend,respect to Lou for carrying on after his illness,hope he returns to his old state we all know and love,one of the worlds finest rock singers.
I just checked out lou gramm band 2009,yes he's back,that fantastic voice,I don't know his story ,but what this video sounds like i heard before ...elvis; chuck negron; boby Hatfield ,eddie brigatti ,judy garland johnny ray .Chuck & eddie are back,both singing great ,oh don't forget whitney.Whats the point! ........ Drugs alcohol & singing,are only for the young!
Lou is a legend...no doubt, but because of things beyond his control, he just can't do what he used to...he lags behind the band at points, especially at the beginning. Because of this, Foreigner has moved on with Kelly...and for the best really. Not taking anything away from Lou, he had to deal with issues that we can't understand. It's hard to lose one's voice due to things we can't help. I still respect the heck out of him and he will always be the legend he so justly deserves!
Check out Lou's more recent videos...his health has improved tremendously and he sounds and looks great!!!! Lou, God has bless you so much....and has blessed us with your music. (by the way, it is the great flutist from Jethro Tull.... Ian Anderson)
what happened to him? Is he sick? It doesn't even sound remotely like they did way back when. I heard he was ill though. Poor guy they used to be one of the best in the world.
@nancyneptune Flute player is the great Ian Anderson..(Jethro Tull) And Lou was very ill with a brain tumor previous to this video. ( Shame on you for your remarks.)
Lou is back in full form and sounding great. God bless you Lou!!!!!
This is sad.I loved Lou as a singer.But this to me feels like bad Karaoke.I wanna remember Lou for what he was,not this.Maybe he can get it back or maybe not.I love Kelly Hansen in Foreigner.I'd rather have that than this.
His voice is still there, you can hear it on some notes. He got screwed by Jones and Elliott from the original band. The new Foreigner stinks. This man was the heart and soul of all their songs....from Double Vision to Urgent to Girl on the Moon..he was and still is the voice of Foreigner and always will be.
Foreigner, my fav rock group since my teen yrs. Hope Lou is much better. We all go through unexpected changes (and expected as well). I think it was honorable that he showed up and sung for his fans! He just gave us a piece of reality. God bless you Lou.
He's a true surviver & a good man! & from his interviews,seems so sweet.I've had a crush on him since I was 12 yrs old.Hee hee..Im now 45.Any woman would be lucky to have him! He's still very handsome in my book & would jump his bones everyday of the week!!! Maybe one day..I'll get lucky!!!
Its awful really lets not beat around the bush. And its a crying shame that it had to end like this for one of the best and most distinctive rock voices ever.
@lyngoodwin Sadly, I have to agree. I'll give Lou credit for getting on stage, but his vocal power is all gone in the wake of his illness. He can't even hit the right keys anymore, albeit none of this is his fault.
That's Mick Jones..

@MrBrandonGibson: not just to slam back dude but you're wrong about his pitch and I should know, I have 4 EMMY awards so don't talk pitch or music if you don't LIKE what you're hearing...just say you don't like it. People want to see the original artist do their songs even if they are half-dead and this guy fought back from almost certain death. Give him a break for adding beautiful music to the sometimes ugly world.

@Pauly1313 Many people still don't know how sick Lou had been and that he got operated. I had send Mr. Brandon a personal message and he understood then when I did explain about Lou's illness at the time and what the operation did to him. So it's ok and not needed to get back at him.

@Pauly1313 Well said.
Besides, most pop artists these days probably sound far worse before the AutoTune is switched on!
Cut him a break. He's a living legend.

Such an inspiration... to go from being renowned, world class vocalist to a jaded, shadow of his fomer self due to the tumors and operations. He shows us all not to give up what we love and continue with his performing. I am gutted his voice isn't what it was but he deserves all of the praise and recognition... Lou Rocks!!

I love Lou Gramm! Once upon A time in the 80's with Foreigner and then in the early to mid 90's when he formed Shadow King. He isn't what he once was but, he still is one of the greatest and most recognizable voices of that era! I love you you Lou!

Shit - this is really bad - the guy is really off - slurred speach, totally off pitch - not good. He shouldn't be performing. It's embarassing. We'll always remember him from the 80's so let's just remember the good times. Time to give up Live singing.
MrBrandonGibson 9 months ago
@MrBrandonGibson Well, this performance is from some years ago, he has improved since then and there are a lot of people who still appreciate his singing, so I guess there is enough reason for him to go on singing in puplic :-) But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion!!! As long as it stays in reasonable words, then it's ok with me.

@MrBrandonGibson In April 1997, two months after providing vocals for Christian rock band Petra's Petra Praise 2: We Need Jesus, and on the eve the band was to leave for a Japan tour, Gramm was diagnosed with a type of brain tumor called a craniopharyngioma. Although the tumor was benign, the resulting surgery damaged his pituitary gland. In addition, the recovery program had caused Gramm to gain weight, and likewise affected his stamina and voice. He continued to work with Jones.

@MrBrandonGibson My time on earth has taught me that loving people have empathy! Good for you Lou to get back up there and do what you were meant to do!! Luv ya:)
itsall4hisglory 7 months ago
@MrBrandonGibson It is the result of his Gramm's brain surgery on its pituitary gland and the medication that is takes. That is why he looks so different now. He is slowly recovering over the years. The important thing is that he completely turned his life around and got of drugs and is a devoted father and Christian. Fantastic man on many levels!!

I seen him in PHILLY at the Keswick theatre with Foreigner and Mick Jones kept looking at the rest of the band when Lou was singing. He is a fukn mess. He almost fell off the stage. His voice is an absolute mess. He had one of the best voices in the industry. Go get a desk job Lou. Everyone was embarrassed

This is aweful. I am shocked to hear him sound so bad. He doesn't sound anything like his former self. Now I am actually happy to say that they replaced him with someone who actually sounds like Lou did back in his hey day. I always enjoyed foreigner, so I was curious to find out what happened with the lead singer. And now that I know, I won't be listening to him much more. What a shame.

@Tjs964 Have a heart. He went through an operation to get rid of a brain tumor. How would you talk or sing after something like that? Hes doing great and every day even better under those circumstances.

@Tjs964 Sorry folk, this comment is dedicated to all the friends who are posting points of view about the eroded image of Mr. Gramm...You all should know that Lou passed trough severe brain cancer and just after the surgery he decided to keep rocking..Just that gesture proves what a human with soul power can do!!!!!!!!!...so please...make some research after post what's on your mind friends!!!!!...Best regards...and Lou, you are an inspiration!

Lou is a legend...no doubt, but because of things beyond his control, he just can't do what he used to...he lags behind the band at points, especially at the beginning. Because of this, Foreigner has moved on with Kelly...and for the best really. Not taking anything away from Lou, he had to deal with issues that we can't understand. It's hard to lose one's voice due to things we can't help. I still respect the heck out of him and he will always be the legend he so justly deserves!

His voice is still there, you can hear it on some notes. He got screwed by Jones and Elliott from the original band. The new Foreigner stinks. This man was the heart and soul of all their songs....from Double Vision to Urgent to Girl on the Moon..he was and still is the voice of Foreigner and always will be.
