(RTTNews) - Former Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm has taken aim at his ex-band mates. Gramm split off from Foreigner nearly a decade ago but says that the band is misleading fans by carrying on without him under the original band name.
"What's stranger to me is that, as I've learned talking to people who see those shows, is that in many cases the audience, especially if they're younger, don't even know it's not the original lead singer," Gramm told spinner.com. "In Foreigner's case, as I understand it, the singer was actually trained to deliver pretty much exactly everything as I did it, note for note." "If I were in the audience and learned that while I was there, I'd get up and leave," he said. "I think when the band name remains the exact same, but something as important as the lead vocal is different, it's misleading. It's like false advertising."
Gramm provided the original vocals in hits including "Cold As Ice" and "Hot Blooded."
