HOLY SH*T! Surviving CINDERELLA Members Talk About a Potential Reunion

In a recent interview with Waste Some Time With Jason Green, drummer Fred Coury discussed whether a Cinderella reunion with all surviving members could ever happen. (Guitarist Jeff LaBar passed away in July 2021 at the age of 58 in his Nashville apartment.)

Fred Coury said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):
“Well, we all still play our instruments. So, Tom [Keifer, Cinderella frontman] is out touring. Eric [Brittingham, Cinderella bassist] is doing a benefit — Rock For Hope, I believe it’s called — he’s doing that next week. I’m right now playing on Billy Morrison’s record. So we’re all pretty active in playing. We have our chops up. So if something had to happen, if it was, like, ‘Oh my gosh. You guys can save the world. We need to have you play,’ there’s no reason we couldn’t.”

Coury mentioned that he is still in regular contact with Keifer and Brittingham.

“I just talked to Eric this afternoon. And I speak to Tom quite often. Yeah, we’re brothers. I mean, first of all, I owe everything to those guys.”

Sharing a personal reflection, Coury spoke about revisiting the band’s music:

“I walk every day in the morning and at night. That’s how I unwind… That’s the time that nobody’s around. The streets are dark and I just get to walk. And the other day I listened to [Cinderella’s third studio album, 1990’s] ‘Heartbreak Station’ for the first time in 20 years. I hadn’t listened to it from top to bottom. And I forgot some of the songs. I was, like, ‘I don’t even remember this song.’ And it was so refreshing to go, ‘Oh my gosh. I’ve completely forgotten about this.’ And I loved it. It was so cool.”

“And that’s when I called Eric yesterday… I was, like, ‘Dude, when was the last time you listened to one of our records top to bottom?’ It was amazing. All the memories started flooding back. So yeah, it was pretty cool. I feel like I’m a very lucky person.”

Eric Brittingham on a Possible Reunion

In a separate interview with the Another FN Podcast With Izzy Presley, bassist Eric Brittingham was asked about the surviving members playing together again.

“Early on, right after Jeff passed, [the idea of doing a tribute concert] was kind of floating around. I think our old manager was trying to get something together. But it would never be the same without Jeff. And I see so many bands that it’s like watering down a drink. And I really don’t want to… I mean, I love KISS — I grew up with them and I don’t wanna knock them — but it’s not the same. 1975 KISS is not like KISS with Eric Singer. And I love those guys too, but it’s not the same.”

When Presley suggested the possibility of Jeff’s son Sebastian LaBar—who has played with Saliva and Tantric—joining for a one-off performance, Brittingham said:

 

“Yeah. I would be open to it, and I’m sure Fred would too. Tom, he’s been with his solo career for — what? — 13 or 14 years now, and he’s really vested in that. And that’s where his heart is. So I don’t know if he would really wanna do it. But I would be open to it [and] Fred would be open to it, but I don’t know if it would ever happen.”

“Sebastian’s a great player, he’s a great guy. That would make sense, but I don’t know if that would ever happen. I wouldn’t wanna go out and do a tour or anything like that. If it’s a one-off thing for a good reason, I would be open to it. Otherwise, remember the band how the band was.”

Tom Keifer on Staying Connected

Frontman Tom Keifer told Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station that he remains in touch with his longtime bandmates.

“Fred is really talented… He’s just really, really found a niche that he loves. He’s got a beautiful studio out there, and he’s done a lot of really great work. He and I are in touch a lot… He does TV music. He does stuff with sports. I mean, he’s a busy guy.”

Speaking about Brittingham, Keifer added:

“Eric, the last I’d heard, he had a couple of different projects that he was involved in musically, and he played with Bret Michaels for a while. I don’t think he’s playing with Bret anymore. I’m not sure. He’s played with a couple of different artists and done some session work here in town.”

While a complete Cinderella reunion may remain uncertain, the bond between its members and their continued musical activity ensures the band’s legacy lives on.

“HE’S PLAYED TO MILLIONS — BUT LAST NIGHT, PAUL MCCARTNEY HEARD ONE VOICE THAT MATTERED MOST.” Last night felt different. James McCartney stepped onto the stage, not to follow a legend, but to speak to his father. Paul McCartney sat quietly in the crowd. No spotlight. No wave. Just a man listening. When the first notes landed, Paul lowered his head. Not as a Beatle. Not as an icon. As a dad. The room softened. The air slowed. You could feel years of life sitting between every line. It wasn’t flashy. It didn’t need to be. It was a son saying thank you in the only language they share. Some moments don’t ask for applause. They ask to be remembered. He’s Played to Millions — But Last Night, Paul McCartney Heard One Voice That Mattered Most There are concerts that feel like events. Loud. Polished. Built for headlines. And then there are nights that feel smaller than the venue, even when the room is packed. Nights where the music isn’t trying to impress anyone. It’s trying to say something. That’s what people felt when James McCartney stepped onto the stage for a performance that wasn’t about legacy, records, or reputation. It was about one person sitting in the crowd: Paul McCartney. A Different Kind of Spotlight James McCartney didn’t walk out like he was chasing the weight of his last name. There was no attempt to copy Paul McCartney’s stage swagger, no nod to the biggest hits, no effort to turn it into a “Beatles moment.” Instead, he carried himself the way someone does when they’re about to say something personal. The kind of calm that looks confident on the outside, but you can tell it’s holding a lot underneath. And then, out there in the audience, Paul McCartney was just sitting. Not center stage. Not making it about himself. Not waving. Not soaking in attention. Just watching his son. That alone changed the temperature of the room. When the First Notes Landed As the first notes filled the space, something quiet happened. Paul McCartney lowered his head. Not dramatically. Not for show. Just a small movement that looked like a reflex. Like someone trying to hold back a feeling that arrived too fast. People noticed because everyone knows the public version of Paul McCartney. The legend. The songwriter. The man whose voice has been part of the soundtrack of millions of lives. But what the crowd saw in that moment wasn’t an icon reacting to a performance. It was a father reacting to his child. Not a Tribute for the World — A Message for One Person It’s easy to assume a night like this would be about reputation. About living up to a name. About trying to prove something. But what people felt was the opposite. This was a son speaking a kind of gratitude that doesn’t always fit into everyday words. When you grow up around a parent like Paul McCartney, you’re not just living with fame. You’re living with schedules, expectations, history, pressure, and the quiet parts the public never sees. Sometimes, the strongest “thank you” isn’t said across a dinner table. Sometimes it’s said through a song, where you can hide inside the melody for a few minutes and say everything you can’t say straight out. “That wasn’t just a song,” one fan wrote afterward. “That was understanding. That was respect. That was Paul McCartney’s story — returned to him by the person who knows him best.” The Room Didn’t Feel Like a Crowd Anymore As the performance continued, people said the venue felt strangely still. Phones weren’t flying up as much as you’d expect. There weren’t big reactions after every line. It wasn’t because the crowd wasn’t engaged. It was because they were listening differently. It felt like everyone understood they were witnessing something private in a public space. Like the song was creating a small circle, and somehow the entire room respected it. When the chorus swelled, time didn’t exactly stop. But it did slow down. There was no sense of “show.” No attempt to turn the moment into a viral clip. Just James McCartney singing as if he was aiming every word in one direction. And Paul McCartney receiving it. What People Will Remember Years from now, most people won’t remember what the lights looked like or what the setlist was. They’ll remember the small details. The way Paul McCartney didn’t try to take attention. The way he stayed quiet, like he didn’t want to interrupt whatever his son was giving him. The way his head dropped at the first notes, as if the music reached somewhere deep and familiar. That’s what makes moments like this stick. They aren’t built for applause. They’re built from real feeling. And when it ended, it didn’t feel like a “performance” so much as a message that finally landed where it was meant to. A Question That Lingers People left talking softly, like they didn’t want to break the mood too quickly. Because once you’ve seen something that honest, it makes you think about the people in your own life. How many times do we wait to say what we mean until we find the “right moment”? And what happens when the right moment shows up quietly, in the middle of a song, with no spotlight at all? Some nights aren’t about the crowd. Some nights are about one person in the audience — and the voice brave enough to sing straight to them.

WHEN VINCE GILL COULDN’T FINISH THE LINE, THE WORLD KNEW GEORGE JONES WAS TRULY GONE. On the Ryman stage that night, the spotlight fell on two empty chairs. Vince Gill and Patty Loveless stood there, attempting to sing “Go Rest High On That Mountain.” But there is a brutal truth: When you sing a farewell to your hero, your throat closes up. Vince closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. He stopped mid-verse. The guitar kept ringing, but his voice shattered. Patty gently placed a hand on his shoulder, picking up the harmony. It wasn’t professionalism. It was agonizing love. George Jones taught them how to sing about heartache, but he never taught them how to face the heartache of losing him. In the shadows of the wings, Garth Brooks did something that made everyone who saw it bow their heads…

There are nights in music history that feel planned.And then there are nights that simply happen—heavy, unguarded, impossible…
