On this day, 17 January 1991, American rock band Cinderella played Cardiff’s St David’s Hall on their Heartbreak Station tour. Support was provided by Slaughter.
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.
Cinderella's third album, Heartbreak Station, was released in 1990. It featured more songs than last recording Long Cold Winter, that were influenced by Keifer's love of the blues. Following the accompanying tour, Fred Coury left the band and joined former Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy in the band Arcade. The song "Hot and Bothered" was featured in the movie Wayne's World and its subsequent soundtrack.
In 1991, Keifer lost his voice due to a paresis of his vocal cords. He underwent several surgeries to repair a vocal cyst and hemorrhage.
