At this point, people expect Kelly Hansen. Not an old morbidly obese guy. Maybe have him sing a verse or two on a couple of songs? People would probably allow that.

Hate to admit, but it's too late. Much too late.

Sure, run the dates in locations People will never see here. Just like Bon Jovi running dates in waaaay Eastern Europe when his voice fully tapped out.

Kelly will still be there, I’m betting.

This is presumably just more of the same special guest shit they’ve done before. They’ve been floating this since the rock hall, but apparently Lou was a “no” this latest time around because management wasn’t prepared to let him sing any of the big guns solo. (He specifically referred to IWTKWLI in a recent interview on the “RockHistoryMusic” YouTube channel).

Evidently the issue was resolved or Lou decided he could use the moolah after all.

I was gonna ask. I LOVE his voice, but I thought he’d had serious singing issues forever now.

I saw him last year. He did a hometown show in Rochester. He sounded OKish on like 4 songs. Watch the rock hall song he did it’s not good unfortunately. He had such a fantastic voice before he got sick. Maybe he will try for a Shadow King reunion next 😂

I think people are overstating how bad Lou is singing. He’s not THAT bad. He’s not 25 anymore, but he still does OK. My only complaint is that he changes the cadences of the songs. Same thing Halford does. It’s annoying. But his voice is at least decent. … It’s not post voice, pre-lip-synch Paul Stanley bad that’s for sure.

I like to see Lou do his 1 or 2 songs on something like the RRHOF concert, but I'll keep the memory of seeing the real band once upon a time.
