In the closing months of 2022, the world-famous rock band FOREIGNER made an announcement about a very difficult decision they had come to – to start their farewell tour, going through 2023 to 2024. Now, they\u2019re releasing a compilation album to commemorate their near half-century history of music, with some of the biggest hits in rock\u2019s history being featured on the ten-track vinyl – pressed in regal golden colours, \u2018Farewell – The Very Best Of Foreigner\u2019 contains some of the best music you\u2019ll ever hear.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Starting in 1977 and continuing to the present day, despite all the tumultuous times the band has went through, with members leaving and joining regularly, Mick Jones\u2019s project is still ongoing. Even with him reaching the age of 79 this December, and with a myriad of health issues, Jones is still determined to sail the band out to the sunset on their final tour through to 2024 – showing a commitment to performing that few musicians have been able to rival. Even with the membership of the band changing throughout the years, at its core, they\u2019re still making the same music – now they seek to perform to the world one last time, releasing what will be their final album, \u2018Farewell\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The double-sided vinyl contains ten tracks, carefully selected from Foreigner\u2019s library-sized discography, and contains songs such as \u2018Feels Like The First Time\u2019 and the #1 worldwide hit \u2018I Want To Know What Love Is\u2019. The album shows that despite how long they\u2019ve been around, the band\u2019s sound is still iconic and instantly recognisable to rock fans. Foreigner\u2019s last hurrah isn\u2019t just an incredible listening experience that anyone can pick up and enjoy – it\u2019s a piece of rock history, and a sample of one of the world\u2019s most successful groups. Even after their farewell tour ends, they\u2019re still going to rock the world after they\u2019re gone, with people continuing to listen to their incredible music such as the hits on \u2018Farewell\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
