Foreigner's lead singer Kelly Hansen announced his departure during the season finale of NBC's The Voice, revealing that he will leave the band after 20 years. Luis Maldonado, who has been with the band since 2021, will take over his role. In a heartfelt moment, Hansen performed a duet with Maldonado during a medley of their classic hits. The band continues to tour, though the exact timing of Hansen's exit is yet to be confirmed as they have scheduled shows through fall 2023.
After 20 magical years fronting this band, this will be my last year with Foreigner," Hansen told the audience. "At the end of this summer, a new great voice will sing these songs for you; my friend Luis Maldonado.
In an emotional sendoff, Foreigner performed a medley of their hits "Juke Box Hero" and "I Want to Know What Love Is," with Hansen and Maldonado singing a duet for the latter song in a true passing-of-the-mic moment.
