Lou Gramm Farm Aid 1985
December closes the touring chapter, per a 2026 announcement from Lou Gramm, who says he'll step off the road at year's end to be with family. He's 76. The résumé before that is the part worth sitting with: born Louis Andrew Grammatico, the voice on every Foreigner classic, came through years of addiction into Christian belief, then went under the knife in 1997 for a benign brain tumor. Serious health fallout followed and he kept performing anyway. Rewind to September 22, 1985, Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Illinois, the first Farm Aid, where he and Foreigner did "I Want to Know What Love Is," the band's only US No. 1 and its biggest hit. That hit different.
