- Rochester native and iconic singer Lou Gramm of Foreigner will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The announcement was made during Sunday's episode of "American Idol." Other inductees include Lenny Kravitz, Sinéad O'Connor and Mariah Carey.
Gramm joined Good Day Rochester via Zoom to talk about joining the rock 'n' roll pantheon.
"It's quite an honor and it's been a long time coming," Gramm said. "I felt so good last night."
Gramm said he received congratulatory phone calls from his family and friends, but none from his one-time bandmates in Foreigner.
He says he expects Foreigner will perform two songs at the induction ceremony.
"I know my mouth is going to be sore from smiling today," Gramm said.
The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for October 19 in Cleveland, Ohio.

There would be no Foreigner without Lou Gramm👍
And Mick Jones.
@@user-hd9nc7zp1v Mick Jones was lucky to have met Lou Gramm because Lou can make any song better than it is bar none.
The original Foreigner deserves it. They did the work. Nuff said.
One of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.
Lou is one of the best rock singers of all time! Congrats to him, Mick and the band :)
Lou Gramm has one of the best vocals in rock. His voice is legend.
It's about damn time. They should of been in there yrs ago. With a beautiful voice like Lou Gramm his voice was amazing.🔥💋❤️🥰🎶🎵🎤⭐⭐✨💎
Absolutely agree.
Congratulations! I voted everyday for Foreigner. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same. Mainly due to this:
Paul McCartney: Foreigner, not in the hall of fame?
What the fuck?
Congratulations Lou and the rest of Foreigner(original)!! Many songs and many years!! So well deserved !! Happy for you!! 🎤🎼🎉👍❣️
My moral mentor and more than my favorite Rock vocalist... Well-deserved recognition, dear Louis! Taking into consideration, your contribution to the music of the band is remarkable. Your lyric tenor voice is unmatched in Rock music. Be healthy! Thank you for discovering my inner world to create myself! Congratulations! 🎉
Well said.👍🏻
I'm so happy for Foreigner. Lou has had many health challenges. They all deserve this. ROCK ON!!!
Long overdue. Should have happened decades ago. Congratulations Lou and Foreigner!
original foreigner deserves to be in long long overdue congrats. about time one of my favorite bands of all time
Congratulations Foreigner, thank you for all of your wonderful music.
Awww. I'm so happy for Lou. Look at him. He is genuinely beaming. Good for him! So glad he and the rest of the guys FINALLY got in.
IT'S ABOUT TIME!
One of the great rock voices of all time.
Yay!!!!! Congratulations to our WNY Treasure, Lou Gramm and The rest of Foreigner!!!! This is so exciting!! 💙🎤🎶🙏
Awesome news!! Congratulations to Lou Gramm and Foreigner on being Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees!!❤️🎤🎸🥁🎹🎼🎵🎶
I love the music of Foreigner.
It's a very gift for LOU as his birthday approaches. What a Great journey LOU, well done, vere fair reward these Votes kept us all in Suspense and we all happy with the outcome
😁🎉Yay,,! Congratulations!🎉 Lou Gramm Juke Box Hero ! 🎉💃🎶
Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉
Lou is the heart of Foreigner congrats
Man hes a Legend!
Lou deserves this more than anyone!
Congrats to Foreigner!! Lou Gramm, Mick Jones, and the WHOLE band..
Lou is one of the premier rock vocalist in the 70s, 80s & beyond!!!
Should have happened a long while back! I voted several times for Foreigner, Frampton, Ozzy!
Rock & Roll Never Forgets!!
Randy A Carlisle // DJ // KSGV // Real Oldies Show
Well deserved and way beyond due. My first concert!
This guy is one of the all-time greatest rock voices, and I will be very happy to see the real Foreigner play one more time.
So proud of Lou and the band! I've been listing to some Foreigner and Lou solo songs and am always amazed at his range, expressiveness, and nuance he gives each performance. His voice has such character and beautiful tone. Gramm is one of the greatest rock vocalists ever. Lou jokes in in his autobiography that he there was a Foreigner ballad he sang on in the 90's that Mick was keen on it but he personally didn't like as much. So he he admits he sang it "kind of dull and boring." Yet it ended up not sounding dull and boring at all and as Lou wrote "The damn thing became a hit!" "I Don't Want To Live Without You" was the song. So you're telling us Lou you went for a bunt and smashed a grand slam? Haha.. What a legend!
One of classic rock's most iconic voices & frontmen. Class and talent rolled in one. HoF or no HoF, everybody knows he's a demigod of modern music.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😃😃🎸🎸🎊🎊🎆🎆
It's about frigging time..Congrats Lou and Foreigner..
Way to go Lou you just made rock history and with Foreigner it’s amazing. Congratulations you all well-deserved.❤❤❤❤❤
I think they deserve to be the rock and roll hall of Fame..
Congratulations Lou. I wonder how much longer we have to wait to see Johnny Winter and Rory Gallagher inducted.
Finally; with an endless catalogue of hits, it's about time Foreigner was inducted!! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations it’s been a long time coming ❤🎉
Long time coming and so deserved❤ You've Rocked us for many years, so Happy for you and the Guys, Bless you Lou🎶🎶🎶✌🤘
Congratulations Lou!! Rochester Love you!!
😍❤️🎸❤️🔥🎶🎵🤟🏻
Congrats to Lou and Foreigner One of my favorite Bands But The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame should no longer be called The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It should be called The Music Hall of Fame....
Congratulations to Lou Graham and the original Foreigner members it's about time they got into the rock and roll Hall of Fame long overdue Foreigner is one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time talking about the original members also Lou Graham is one of the best singers of all times congratulations again
I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVES IS!!!! CONGRATS LOU!!!
One of the most well-deserved best to get inducted. Thank God got to see Lou a few months ago in Florida. God bless them all Mc rest of the band. Congratulations.
Congratulations 😂😂 been a long time coming but y'all made it.
BOUT F******KING TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lou congratulations on your induction I met you many years ago at Northern Michigan university in Marquette Michigan, you were sitting alone in the bleachers before the concert and I was setting up, it was an honor to meet you.
Well deserved
Congratulations to the old band. Not the tribute band. Let’s make that clear.
Deal with it
I agree with you 100%
Yea, but they held up the torch of fire. I think without them playing in recent years the RNRHF would had forgot them.
AMEN TO THAT!!!!👍😍🥰
Yessssssssss. The legend Lou
Lou and Steve Perry are the Voices of Rock
Congrats, well deserved! Foreigner was part of my teenage years. Still ❤️their music.
Congrats !
Lou.....so happy for you and the band. Ive been talking shi* online to the Rock and roll hall of fame for years over this travesty of failing to induct your band. I was shocked that Frampton had also been left out. Maybe you can give a shout out for Boston and Kansas still being left out. That's effed up too. Thankful to have a signed copy of your great autobiography. Congratulations Lou!!!! So well deserved....and so long overdue!!!!
Congrats lou gramm and Mick jones
Awesome! I met Lou at the Mecum auction in Orlando, he was so cool! And anchor guy turn down the gay meter about 3 levels.
Im in the Airport looking at him right now as I watch this 👀
About time they got in. They were huge. Lots of big hits and great songs.
Thank you Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the induction of Foreigner.
Wait till the current guys find out they’re not inducted! Hahahahaha!😂
It’s about time!
Lou you have to sing Midnight Blue
Not going to happen. It will be Hot blooded and I want to know what love is
LOU GRAMM IS THE VOICE OF FOREIGNER IS AND ALL WAYS WILL BE 😎 ⚡️ 👍 ⚡️🇺🇸
Great.
Lou the best
Congratulations to you and to all current / former members of Foreigner on your Induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame !! Well deserved ! 🎸 🤟🤟✌️💜
Lou Gramm RRHOF! ❤
This only happened because Foreigner fans put immense pressure on the RRHOF to give the band their due. People power🎸
Saw Foreigner on the Agent Provocateur Tour 1985 Providence Civic Center. I believe Joe Walsh opened for them. Congrats Lou!
Good Deal its about time ..........
Def Leppard is in the Hall and Foreigner Has A Better Catalog
WAY OVER DUE !!
Just criminal that it took this long.
It's about time...Madonna and Dolly are there..explain. it's the rock and roll hall of fame
I can’t believe the Go-Go’s made it before Foreigner; damn shame.
There’s a TV station in San Franfrisco that needs their anchor to head back home.
Lou, Mick, Dennis,Al and Ed/Ian( in memory). Also Rick. Possibly Turgon, maybe not him
It's not foreigner without Lou. I feel the same way with journey without steve Perry. Just my opinion.
Mr.Gramm, Congratulations are in order for your outstanding body of work!!! You are so deserving of any accolades you receive. I'm a fan of yours for life!!!!
Lou had a tumor in his brain about the size of a baseball almost 30 years ago. So glad he is still around. Another should have been inducted years ago band. The Moody blues were not inducted until 2018 for God's sake. Glad they're still alive, or most of Foreigner? Glad that place recognized them. Chu
Im sure Mick Jones will mess this one up too
This guy is down to earth. He might work part time at wegmans on holt rd later in the year.
In Webster NY
Jukebox Hero
I want to know what love is
So many rappers got in before them
Foriegner is just getting there now? Steve Miller was right it's a joke!
I'm so happy for Lou..😊 not for foreigner though.. Mick did him wrong!! 😢 Of course no band members congratulated him,especially Mick.
Will it be all the original members inducted?
38 million certified album sales (source: RIAA)
Yet, obscure rappers got into the Hall much sooner!
Everyone on Atlantic eventually gets in.
Happy for him! I don't think that they realize that he is no longer with the band.
Lou is, was and always will be Foreigner.
Irrelevant
Maybe Mick Jones should take this opportunity during his acceptance speech to apologize to Lou for ripping off on song credits and for treating him like crap during his time in the band.
If no apology Lou should invite Mick Jones on a Deep Sea Fishing Trip.
I'm not a foreigner guy, but who was the biggest star in the band? Jones or Gramm?
@@brando7266Gramm for sure. He was Foreigner.
@@josephsharp5678 thanks,
@@brando7266Lol Gramm obviously
Sinead O'Conner?? Mariah Carey?? 😆😆😆😆
Don't go Lou....Micks treated you bad mate
And let Mick's tribute band play instead? No way!!! Lou has to be there, he has to sing, they are his songs!!
@@simonajugarih3620 ok good point but he should rip him a new one in his speech
I'd have more respect for him if he'd tell them to piss off.
Wow! Lou Gramm definitely did not age very well.
Well lets see there’s Peter Frampton! He’s completely unrecognizable! Lou has all his hair and it aint grey! And beat a brain tumor! Hope l look that good at his age!!
@@hayleyv4321 I agree. He has more hair at 73 then most guys at 40.
When you hit 70 you're not going to look nothing like you did when you were in your thirties. Check out other videos.
He had a brain tumor years ago that really affected his weight and voice….I’m sure he struggled a lot because of it physically and mentally.
Only the original members of Foreigner should be inducted not wanna be Kelly hanson
Hot Blooded and Dirty White Boy!. No. They'll be forced to play I want to Know What Love Is. For sure on that one. Double Vision.
Now you just have to have 25 years in the recording industry to get in. You can sing pop or rap....even country. RR HOF is a joke!
It’s about fucking time!
Boston and Styx? Not in yet? Give me a break.
Styx?
For anyone who thinks Lou or Kelly and I repeat kelly also doesn't deserve this year's ago needs to rethink how they feel about music and this band. The original line up, and the band that carried the memory of the music years to come rightly deserve this honor. Of all the bands that have continued with new singers this one is the best by far. Even on their anniversary tour they allowed Lou to come up and sing several tracks with them, something bands are just to proud to do, Kiss didn't, Journey damn sure didnt. Say what you will kelly never tried to be Lou, he was just the right man for the job to carry on the music, and legacy that is Foreigner. Well deserved for all members involved.
Well, Lou is in, Kelly is not. Tells you all you need to know.
Yea no wanna be kelly
Sorry l just dont feel the same way!! Neither do tons of other people!😡
As far as the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It sucks. To me it is too opinionated and they go off character. It's fake like the main stream media.
Lou doesn’t look a day over 75.
