Foreigner founding member Mick Jones will release the band's first-ever official biography, A Foreigner's Tale.

A Foreigner's Tale dates back to the beginning, quite literally, of Jones and the band, dating all the way back to Jones' childhood in England and the formation of Foreigner.

The book will also feature photographs from Jones' personal collection, including rare and candid shots, along with items from his record and guitar collections, and Foreigner artwork and memorabilia.

A new Foreigner tour will coincide with the release of A Foreigner's Tale, with details to follow soon.

A Foreigner's Tale is due in 2017 via Rocket II Books and will be sold exclusively through foreignerbook.com.

Fans are encouraged to register for updates, special discounts, early delivery and even a chance to have your name published in the biography.
