Lou Gramm, the original Foreigner frontman, had initially accepted the band’s exclusion from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, he’s now closely following the public voting where Foreigner ranks consistently in the Top 3 since early February.

Gramm appreciates the active campaign led by producer Mark Ronson, Mick Jones’ son-in-law, with support from music icons like Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl. Gramm plans to attend and perform at the induction ceremony if Foreigner is selected.

His partnership with Jones led to their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013. Currently, Gramm performs with the Lou Gramm Allstars and will join Bret Michaels’ Parti-Gras 2.0 tour this summer.
