A rock legend, whose roots are in Rochester, says that now is the time for him to walk away from his solo career.
Lou Gramm, 68, is one of rock’s best known voices of the 1970s and ‘80s, singing and co-writing more than a dozen hits with the band Foreigner, including “Cold As Ice,” “I Want To Know What Love Is,” and Waiting For A Girl Like You.”
In a video posted on Facebook by Mitch Lafon, host of Rock Talk on the Westwood One network, Gramm announced the exit from solo work before an audience at Proctor’s Theatre in Schenectady on Saturday.
Gramm says he made the decision after talking it over with his wife and other people in the business.
Gramm’s wife, Robyn Grammatico, said on Twitter, that Gramm is not quitting music entirely, just his current solo band, and she says he still has several projects in the works.
