Ex-Foreigner singer Lou Gramm has told Rock Radio that former bandmate Mick Jones conspired with label bosses to sabotage Gramm's new band.
The frontman formed Shadow King in an attempt to recover his hard rock roots, after becoming unhappy with Jones' preference for keyboard-led ballads throughout the 1980s.

In 1991 Shadow King released their debut album through Atlantic Records, the same label as Foreigner. But Gramm says the reason it didn't sell, and the reason the band broke up, was Jones' "sabotage".
