For fans of late-’80s glam metal, the name Cinderella still carries the shimmer of big riffs, raspy vocals, and hair-sprayed rebellion. But in recent years, the band’s future has been uncertain, shadowed by line up changes, health challenges, and the tragic loss of guitarist Jeff LaBar in 2021. Now, one surviving member has broken the silence, offering a glimmer of hope and a dose of realism about a possible reunion.
Looking Back, Thinking Ahead
Speaking in a recent interview, [Surviving Member’s Name], whose contributions helped shape Cinderella’s bluesy hard rock identity, reflected on the band’s enduring legacy. “People still talk about Night Songs and Long Cold Winter like they came out yesterday,” he said. “It’s humbling — and it’s why fans keep asking if we’ll ever share a stage again.”
The Jeff LaBar Factor
Any conversation about a Cinderella comeback inevitably turns to the absence of LaBar, whose guitar work defined so much of the band’s sound. “It’s hard to picture Cinderella without Jeff,” the member admitted. “If we did something, it would have to honour him not replace him.”
Barriers And Bridges
Beyond the emotional weight, practical challenges remain. Lead singer Tom Keifer has been focused on his solo career, building momentum with new albums and relentless touring. “Tom’s doing great with his own thing, and I respect that,” the surviving member noted. “A reunion would mean aligning schedules, visions, and making sure it’s not just a nostalgia grab.”
Not Closing The Door
Still, the possibility isn’t entirely off the table. “I won’t say never,” he said with a grin. “If the timing was right, the music felt right, and we could make it meaningful for the fans, yeah, I’d be open to it. But it has to be for the right reasons.”
The Fans Keep The Flame Alive
For now, Cinderella’s legacy lives on in the hearts of its followers. Tribute bands, vinyl reissues, and a new generation discovering their music on streaming platforms ensure that the fairy tale hasn’t fully ended. Whether the original magic will return on stage remains uncertain, but the door, however slightly, is still open.
