It's not about "replacing" Mick...nobody is trying to replace anyone. The man got sick.

There are things to consider here:

- commitment to dates/contracts
- the salaries and livelihoods of 4-5 other people in Foreigner other than Mick
- fans who come to hear Foreigner songs

They can't just drop out of the tour to satisfy the "it's not Foreigner without Mick" minority...it's the music BUSINESS, remember?

Foreigner, has become Menudo


I'd argue that neither is replaceable. Without Mick, Foreigner is done.

Without Mick, Kelly should watch his back or else Lou will be back with Foreigner as his group

Oh, I don't know...I think Mick has the Foreigner entity wrapped up pretty tight legally...

Right...point stands. It's just not as easy as just not playing.
