WATCH: Kelly Hansen incites Foreigner sing-along in a lift!
Certain to bring a smile to even the most ardent cynic’s chops, Kelly Hansen has ‘surprise performed’ Foreigner’s biggest anthems in an elevator.
Created by Live Nation to promote Foreigner’s 40th anniversary tour this summer, the spoof video opens with a buoyant Kelly signing himself in to the events giant’s foyer while gleefully singing along to ‘Juke Box Hero’.
As the first unsuspecting employee enters the lift, Kelly passionately belts out ‘Cold As Ice’ with great gusto. Clearly infected by Kelly’s enthusiasm, when the lift opens again the first man is belting out ‘Feels Like The First Time’ in tandem.
Rattling through anthems ‘Head Games’, ‘Waiting For A Girl Like You' and ‘Hot Blooded’, by the time Kelly belts out ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ there’s a dozen-strong sing-along in the lift.
Have a look at the hilarious video here:
Foreigner announced details of their North American 40th anniversary tour with support from Cheap Trick and Jason Bonham earlier this week.
Speaking to Billboard, Mick Jones said that original Foreigner members Lou Gramm, Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood will be making guest appearances at select dates.
“They’re not on the whole tour, but there will be some appearances,” Mick explained. “It’s the right time to do this. I’m looking forward to that and we’ll see how it goes, and I’m sure it’ll go down well.”
The North American tour takes in a total of 37 dates kicking off in Syracuse on 11th July and wrapping up in Auburn, Washington on 9th September.
