Led by its founder, songwriter and lead guitarist Mick Jones, Foreigner has just celebrated its 40th anniversary along with the release of its first-ever official autobiography, a new EP and the establishment of a new brand licensing deal.

Jones recruited the band members and he’s written or co-written all of the group’s hit songs.
