Who Will Replace Foreigner Singer On Tour?
Singer-Actor GEORDIE BROWN to step In. Nova Scotian singer-actor Geordie Brown will join 80's rock multi-platinum rock band FOREIGNER as they embark on a 13-city Canadian tour this coming fall.
Ahead of the bands tour’s announcement, Hansen told Blabbermouth in 2023, “I have a lot to do before this winds up. I just got married over two years ago, and I look forward to spending time with my wife and family and making plans for what is the next step in our future. Because I have other interests; I wanna do other things.” These comments came after Foreigner announced their 2023 Farewell Tour. Even though Hansen will be missed, it seems the group found a more than qualified-replacement.
Who Is New Lead Singer Geordie Brown?
Geordie Brown played the male lead in the workshop production of Foreigner’s Juke Box Hero, The Musical in 2018 in Calgary, Edmonton, and Toronto. Given his on-stage experience, it seems Mick Jones and the rest of Foreigner saw him as a perfect fit.
In fact you might remember Geordie Brown from before. Brown performed with Foreigner during the band’s 2019 appearance in Halifax and was also at Foreigner’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2024. Brown will also reprise his role in “Jukebox Hero” for its upcoming 2026 run.
No reason has been given as to why Hansen, who joined Foreigner in 2005, will not be joining the band on tour.
Foreigner is a classic rock band known for mega-selling hits like “Hot Blooded,” “Cold As Ice,” and “Feels Like the First Time.” Jones is the only original member of Foreigner still with the band, though he no longer performs due to Parkinson’s disease. The rest of Foreigner consists of Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein, Bruce Watson and Chris Frazier.
