Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero” Inspired By Fan [VIDEO]

After a successful 2011 summer tour with Journey and Night Ranger, Foreigner is back on the road for 2012 having just added a July 26th date in Altoona, Iowa.The band is touring in support of their latest effort, a three disc CD/DVD set titled Feels Like The First Time. One disc is acoustic versions of the classic hits, including a cover of "That's All Right" by Elvis.

Mick Jones co-founder of the band recently shed some light on one of the bands biggest hits, "Juke Box Hero."

"Juke Box Hero" was actually inspired by a fan who stuck around after soundcheck and was spotted by him when the band came back to the venue hours later. Jones recalls how he gave the lucky fan a night to remember: "We went to the soundcheck and it was pouring with rain and there was one sort of sad, lonely fan left, and he was standing there drenched. And I kind of took pity on him and invited him in and really gave him, like, backstage experience. We had them put him on the side of the stage, and I looked at the kid and I could see his mind whirling. I was just trying to imagine what was going through his head that's how it gave me the nucleus of the song."
