Rochester native and iconic singer Lou Gramm of Foreigner will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The announcement was made during Sunday's episode of "American Idol." Other inductees include Lenny Kravitz, Sinéad O'Connor and Mariah Carey.

Gramm joined Good Day Rochester via Zoom to talk about joining the rock 'n' roll pantheon.

"It's quite an honor and it's been a long time coming," Gramm said. "I felt so good last night."

Gramm said he received congratulatory phone calls from his family and friends, but none from his one-time bandmates in Foreigner.

He says he expects Foreigner will perform two songs at the induction ceremony.

"I know my mouth is going to be sore from smiling today," Gramm said.

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for October 19 in Cleveland, Ohio.
