Traveling the world with five of your exes and your new family might sound like hell on earth, but for Mick Jones of Foreigner, it’s been a treat.

Jones — lead guitarist and the only constant member of the platinum-selling classic rockers — has brought his five original bandmates out on the road along with the band’s current seven-man lineup as Foreigner rocks through classics like “Feels Like the First Time,” “Cold As Ice,” “Juke Box Hero,” “Double Vision” and “I Want to Know What Love Is.”

“It was really a nice thing to do for the fans and also the original members,” says Jones, born in Britain but a New Yorker since the ’70s. “They’ve been having a blast doing it. It’s worked out really well. There’s a lot of goodwill going around, and you know it’s uncanny how well they all get on. I get sort of transported back now and again, close my eyes and remember moments, phases, all that kind of stuff, and I enjoy doing it.”

At the heart of the feel-good story — which includes the release of the “Double Vision: Then And Now” live CD and DVD on Nov. 15 and concerts at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, on Thursday and Mark G. Etess Arena at Hard Rock in Atlantic City on Friday — is the reconciliation between Jones and original singer Lou Gramm, who left the band in 1990 and again in 2003.

“It had reached a point where it was all musical. I think more than anything, Lou and I are not really similar,” Jones says. One of their few common interests is boxing. Gramm is a hot rod fan while the guitarist is into Formula 1 racing, Jones says.

Jones says he’s “not an easy person to work with” and a “perfectionist in the studio.”

“Somehow we got into this situation where we stopped talking to each other. And that’s not a good sign.”

Feeling Foreigner “still had more to say,” Jones recruited new frontman Kelly Hansen (lead vocals) in 2005. The current lineup also includes Tom Gimbel (rhythm guitar, sax, vocals), Jeff Pilson (bass, vocals), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar) and Chris Frazier (drums).

After a few false starts with Gramm — trying to write together “was like getting blood out of a stone, and we really didn’t seem to have that connection anymore” Jones says — “the key to Lou and I patching things up was when we were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame [in 2013].”

“I think it really dawned on both of us, why are we not in the mood to celebrate this? It’s a big achievement, probably the biggest that will happen in our lives,” he says. “What was the point? The fences came down. Now we can sit around and chat and talk on the phone, back to a communication.”

Gramm was scheduled to join the band for the upcoming dates of the Double Vision: Then & Now Tour, but it was announced Tuesday that “his doctor pronounced him unable to perform at these shows” following a follow-up appointment after “a severe respiratory infection, dehydration and fatigue” landed him in the hospital in Rochester last week.

Also back on the road with Foreigner, founded in 1976, are original members Dennis Elliott (drums), Al Greenwood (keyboards), multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald and bassist Rick Wills.

When Foreigner gets off the road, Jones will be working on retooling “Jukebox Hero The Musical” — which debuted last year in Toronto — for Broadway.

“I’m actually looking at a modified treatment of it,” he says. “We made a little bit of a mistake. We booked too [many] live shows, and that kind of took my concentration away from what we were doing, so we put it away and it’ll be coming to life again in the next few weeks, I think.”

While Jones’ songs with Foreigner are instantly recognizable, fans might not know he also produced two of the most popular albums of the 1980s. Coming off the success of the Jones-penned “I Want to Know What Love Is,” Foreigner’s biggest hit, he co-produced Van Halen’s “5150,” the group’s first album with Sammy Hagar replacing David Lee Roth, and Billy Joel’s “Storm Front.”

“We connected really well,” he says of Long Island’s Piano Man. “He listened to my comments. Didn’t like all my comments necessarily, but they worked out pretty well, and it was just a lot of fun working with him. He’s one of a kind, and he’s a great musician and I really respect him and he’s one of my best friends. That’s not bad after an album. Rarely do you hang out with the guys you just worked with.”

Another A-list musician close to Jones is stepson Mark Ronson, who’s won Grammys for his song “Uptown Funk,” co-writing the Lady Gaga hit “Shallow” and his work on Amy Winehouse’s song “Rehab” and album “Back to Black.”

“I was lucky to be able to land in music, and that was my passion and that’s what’s kept me going, and I think I saw some of the same things happening with him,” says Jones. “He’s completely dedicated and such a fan of so much different music. He’s extremely good, I mean, brilliant. The way he takes on a project. He’s just a very hard worker, and he’s also very funny. So he keeps a good balance in his personality, and I think you can hear that in the music he produces. So I’m very proud of him and it’s great to see that someone else in the family has raised the roof a bit.”
