[@drea60102]

I love Lou gram he is so warmhearted and I am a big fan of foreigner and he is doing so well after that terrible surgery. Just got myself a Foreigner t shirt and a singed juke box hero book. Love you Lou and keep doing as long as you can. Love from Algonquin il. I am 79 jears old and still gong strong. I watch all your Viidios on u tube. It gets me back to the 70 ties and 80 ties. Much love Ingrid.

[@radxone]

Lou is such a nice guy. He's done so much and been through so much in his life, but has remained a real guy who loves the Lord. He continues sharing his talent, and deals with health problems daily, I'm sure. He's tops, as far as I'm concerned, as a singer and as a man. Thanks so much to got2cups for sharing this interview. It's the best.

[@jasoncox4838]

Always been a fan of Lou's voice, but now I'm an even bigger fan of Lou himself. We need more people people like him in mainstream music! Thank you Lou!

[@pokey3782]

A real gentleman and nice guy.

[@roselipaula6900]

[@firdausHITMAN]

What a great guy, so down to earth and relaxed. One of the best rock voices without a doubt.

[@Ragoldiesfan]

I've always loved Foreigner, and even more so after I found out Lou became a Christian. I'm a huge fan of Lou's voice, even though it's been affected since the surgery. God Bless You Lou!!!!

[@janet-zk2kl]

I feel the same way about him. I became a Christian April 18, 1982. What a blessing to learn he became one also. I never get tired of hearing his voice.

[@pbar1000]

What a cool guy. So glad he came to the Lord too. What a modern day jukebox hero.

[@l.fitzsimmons3140]

I day dream, for hours it seems...You are the best Mr Gramm!!! Man do you have the vocal range!!! Thank You Sir.

[@CarlosEduardo-bd7mi]

Lou gramm magnífico

[@amyreaves6959]

[@PattyHunter1952]

Lou Gramm is indeed blessed... he went through hell and back with this cancer but, the Lord, Himself, saw him through that crisis. Thanks be to God, for He is Good... Amen.

[@wxbug1]

I've always been a fan of Lou's.. but am more impressed to learn also about his songwriting and production talents. I truly am so happy for his successful return to better health and hope for his complete recovery someday.. now a great family man and all. Whata good man. I still consider his to be the best American rock voice ever.. bar none..kudos, Lou and continued success.. we'll be waiting.

[@catwomanh3603]

Great singer top 10 rock voices of all time great interview..i remember hearing about his health issues and you can tell it had an impact in his speech ..i notice he repeats words alot ..glad he was able to overcome it and now able to have a normal life alot of people aren't that lucky ..my sister had a tumor removed and now has to use a walker and is disabled

[@truebluewonderful]

I love to see him smile, cause that's when i recognize the Lou he was (physically) until '95/'96.

[@TheTracemann]

WOW, So glad that Lou recovered so well, and is now the proud father of twin girls. what a nice gentlemen.

[@lonepoulsen5802]

Lou Gramm such a nice man ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MariaHelena-ys6cg]

o nosso coração agradece por ouvi-lo cantando lindamente, o meu amor sempre é seu!, YLOVE ❤️ YUO 🇧🇷🙋😘

[@jzeeTV]

yay Jesus!

[@FMHammyJ]

I believe he had a brain tumour(non cancerous) that was removed with surgery.....but he has to take a lot of medication since that time, that is probably partly responsible for his weight gain.....He is sounding stronger and stronger with each passing year.....Does he sound like the Lou Gramm of the eighties that sang with Foreigner?.....no, but how many artists from that time still sound the same?.....

[@michellegoad1052]

His voice sounds the same, The ranges are different. He is doing great after that major brain surgery!

[@markrichardson3566]

He's a regular guy

[@tlansing18]

Is this part 2??

[@revontheredline2]

Car collecting is a habit, 8 is my limit too. Any goats left in that herd?

[@tryithere]

I thought the guy was gonna say Lake Avenue at the end.

[@redstrat1234]

Ok-dokey (wouldn't even know where to start with the above comment....) Hope it all works out for you.

[@politeforce]

Blame it on Eve, she bit the apple, thats when sin and pain entered the world. I am guessing you never read that but just heard it. If you do read that book I bet you find those answers your looking for.

[@ojmccaf63]

Yeah thanks Christian Music industry for not taking Lou’s debut Christian cd more seriously now he’s stuck doing Foreigner tunes for his life!!!

[@politeforce]

Hey I also noticed that you are an experianced critic on here. I have been playing guitar for about 30 yrs plus played and sang in a few country and rock bands...maybe I will put one up soon and you can do your worst at telling me my faults. Just so you know I am not a full pledged bible thumper but I believe in Jesus and I know it's not or should not be hurting you. Jesus message was love not hate and I am sorry I dont have the answers you seek.

[@DancingSpiderman]

The reason why these "bad" things occur -- God is NOT omnipotent; God is NOT all-powerful. Being that God is literally Everything -- all matter, all space, all energy, all Time, all thoughts & all feelings; & every nook & cranny in-between all the matter, space, energy, & Time -- this means that that God is in-fact not always able to allow ONLY so-called "good" things to occur. God is the most powerful entity there is. But God is not all-powerful. But God is great. Because God is everything.

[@karrezza]

What happened to him that in 20 years he looks so run down? I mean look at Paul McCartney. What was this operation? I did love his solo music!

[@OfficialJoeKingOne]

karrezza He has a brain tumor the size of an egg. He had brain surgery and the medications he had to take to stabilize his body cause weight gain. He looks great for his age Late 60’s here, I believe.

[@michellegoad1052]

@@OfficialJoeKingOne Lucky he found a preemie doctor of laser surgery who’d operate. The other doctors told him to go home and get his affairs in order. Amazing to know That he went on tour with Foreigner two months after his surgery because they face lawsuits Id he didn’t. He said it was pretty tough. Poor guy! But hey, he’s come through it with some weight gain, but close your eyes and the voice of Foreigner is still there!

[@redstrat1234]

If god is good why did he allow 250 thousand innocent men women and children to die in the 2004 tsunami?......
