Classic rock fans weren't the only ones to get in on the midweek fun as Tuscaloosa County High School's choir was asked to join Foreigner for the band's playing of its 1984 hit I Want to Know What Love Is.
While it isn't clear if Loverboy will make its way back to Tuscaloosa anytime soon, Foreigner did announce that Tuesday's performance would be the band's last at the newly-named Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater.
