Tom Keifer

Tom Keifer is an American rock singer, guitarist and songwriter, born in Springfield, Pennsylvania in 1961 and best known as the frontman of the hard rock band Cinderella. He co-founded the group and wrote much of its material, driving the late-1980s albums Night Songs, Long Cold Winter and Heartbreak Station and hits including "Nobody's Fool" and "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)." His raspy, blues-steeped voice became a signature of the era's glam metal. After a paralysed left vocal cord forced years of rehabilitation, Keifer rebuilt his range and launched a solo career, releasing The Way Life Goes in 2013 and Rise in 2019. On stage he remains a charismatic hard-rock showman, his hard-won vocal power the centrepiece of every performance.
