"I've been doing shows with them and I've been enjoying it a lot," he mentioned in an interview as cited by Ultimate Classic Rock. "The band is excellent. They portray the songs [in a way that] an original member of Foreigner would be proud to play along with," he shares in a new interview with UCR. "They have their own style but they stick close enough to the original [versions] where no one's going, 'Hey, where's that part?' So it's a lot of fun."

Meanwhile, Mick Jones remains the only original founder but had to skip full-scale touring due to his health status.
