Cinderella
Cinderella was an American rock band formed in the suburbs of Philadelphia in 1983. The band emerged in the mid-1980s with a series of multi-platinum studio albums and hit singles whose music videos received heavy MTV rotation and popularity. Cinderella initially had a glam metal sound throughout the late 1980s before shifting into a more blues rock-based sound during the early to mid 1990s.
Some journalists have also noted elements of roots music apparent in the band's sound. Additionally, the band has been known to perform ballads. Jeff Mezydlo of Yardbarker stated that although the band "looked the part of hair rockers, its overall sound seemed to have more meat than other bands of the era." They are considered by some to be among the greatest glam metal acts of all time. VH1 said they were "Philadelphia's most illustrious contribution to glam."
By the mid-1990s, the band's fame declined precipitously due to personal setbacks, breakups, and changes in the American music industry. After a brief hiatus, Cinderella reunited in 1996 and continued to perform live, but never released any studio material after their 1994 album Still Climbing. The band has sold 15 million records worldwide, according to band member Tom Keifer's official website. After participating in the 2014 Monsters of Rock Cruise, Cinderella again became inactive. In November 2017, Keifer stated that the band has no plans to reform in the future.
