Hansen praised his successor, Luis Maldonado, who has been with the band as a guitarist and has already filled in as lead vocalist. Hansen expressed pride in passing the baton, while Maldonado affirmed his commitment to honoring Foreigner's legacy. Founding member Mick Jones commented on Hansen’s remarkable contribution, reflecting the band's esteemed history.
"After 20 magical years fronting this band, this will be my last year with Foreigner; at the end of this summer, a new great voice will sing these songs for you."
"Being the voice of Foreigner has been one of the greatest honors of my life... But it's time to pass the mic. Luis has the voice, the energy, and the soul to carry these songs into the future."
"I'm ready to honor Foreigner's legacy and bring my heart to every performance... This music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember."
"In 1976, my goal was to assemble the finest group of musicians I could find. Results have shown that it worked!"
