Now Hansen and the rest of Foreigner are back on tour and doing it in a big way, including a stop Saturday night at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis. “In fact, I had kind of in the back of my mind been saying to myself I wonder if there’s a possibility that I could kind of take six months off or something and take a break because we had been hitting it eight, nine months a year for 15 years in a row.” “I’m in a fortunate position so I wasn’t affected really too much in a negative way,” he said. So yeah, that was something I was able to do. “And especially the first few months were really great and it was enjoyable and it allowed me to rest my voice in a way that I hadn’t been able to do that for quite a long time. “I have not had this kind of time off in 15 years,” Hansen said in a mid-July phone interview, as he looked back on the forced hiatus from touring. That wish more than became true when the pandemic hit and he and his Foreigner bandmates were forced to take time off that lasted some 18 months. Kelly Hansen, lead singer of Foreigner, could probably say he now has a true understanding of the cautionary saying “Be careful what you wish for …”īy the time 2020 rolled around, he had actually begun to think he would really benefit from taking a break from the nearly non-stop routine of touring that had been a way of life since he joined Foreigner in 2005. Update: The Hyannis stop on this concert tour has been canceled, according to staff at the Cape Cod Melody Tent, "due to circumstances beyond our control."
