On October 11, 2025, fans at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City witnessed an unforgettable night—Foreigner’s lead singer Kelly Hansen delivered an emotional farewell speech during one of the band’s final tour stops.
As the crowd roared with applause, Hansen took a moment between songs to thank the fans who had supported the band through decades of classic rock history. With sincerity in his voice, he said, “This journey has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Every night, you’ve given us your energy, your voices, and your love—and that’s something I’ll carry forever.” His words were met with cheers, tears, and a standing ovation.
Moments later, the stage lights dimmed, and the opening notes of “I Want to Know What Love Is” filled the room. The audience sang along word for word, their voices blending with Hansen’s powerful, soulful performance. Backed by stunning harmonies and a glowing sea of phone lights, it became one of those timeless concert moments—pure connection between artist and fans.
As the final chorus faded, Hansen raised his hand to wave goodbye, his eyes glistening under the lights. The night was more than just another show—it was a heartfelt celebration of music, memories, and the end of an incredible chapter for Foreigner and Kelly Hansen.
It was a farewell fans will never forget.
