Their orchestral version of the band\u2019s iconic ballad, \u201cI Want to Know What Love Is,\u201d became a viral sensation, racking up 7.8 million views in just a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the widely shared video, lead singer Kelly Hansen takes a moment to express gratitude to the band, crew, and everyone who made the show possible. As the familiar opening chords of their signature hit echo through the concert hall, the audience is swept into a wave of nostalgia and emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For fans who grew up on Foreigner\u2019s original recordings, Hansen\u2019s striking vocal resemblance to the band\u2019s legendary frontman Lou Gramm is nothing short of impressive. Gramm, who left the group in 2003, was the voice behind nearly all of Foreigner\u2019s biggest hits. Yet Hansen, with his powerful delivery and stage presence, brings a fresh energy to the beloved classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This symphonic performance adds a majestic layer to the already timeless track. Hansen\u2019s soulful, gospel-infused interpretation, combined with the rich orchestral arrangement and the audience\u2019s impassioned singalong, makes this rendition feel both nostalgic and new. As the final notes fade, the crowd\u2019s enthusiastic cheers carry on through a lengthy, heartfelt outro while the band takes a collective bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The emotional resonance of \u201cI Want to Know What Love Is\u201d continues to strike a chord with listeners across generations. One fan online reflected, \u201cThey don\u2019t make songs like this anymore,\u201d while another shared how the song became a lasting symbol of her 32-year marriage, recalling how her husband dedicated the track to her decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Foreigner   I Want To Know What Love Is KKL Luzern\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DruhaxlCJQs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreigner\u2019s legacy in the world of rock was cemented with their 1981 album \u201c4,\u201d which became their first and only U.S. chart-topper. Three years later, \u201cI Want to Know What Love Is\u201d propelled the band to international superstardom, reaching #1 in nine countries and dethroning \u201cDo They Know It\u2019s Christmas?\u201d in the U.K. charts. It remains one of the most enduring power ballads of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite numerous lineup changes over the years, founding guitarist Mick Jones, now 79, continues to anchor the band. He is joined by a talented roster of musicians, including bassist Jeff Pilson (66), vocalist Kelly Hansen (63), keyboardist Michael Bluestein (37), guitarist Bruce Watson (65), drummer Chris Frazier (57), and guitarist\/bassist Luis Maldonado. Together, they keep the spirit of Foreigner alive, delivering unforgettable performances to fans old and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Foreigner -
