Former Cinderella drummer Fred Coury was a guest on Eddie‘s Sirius XM show, Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, on July 29th. Excerpts from the interview appear below via blabbermouth.net.
When asked if he has any desire to go back on the road as part of a Cinderella reunion of all the surviving members of the band. (Guitarist Jeff LaBar died in July 2021 at his apartment in Nashville.) Coury replied, “Yes… It’s funny that I’ve turned out to be this studio guy, and I’ve just been playing on so many records. It’s been great, and I play every day. And I’m ready. So I do wanna go out and play. I do wanna tour again.
I was speaking to Eric [Brittingham, Cinderella bassist] — I talk to Eric all the time — and we’re both ready, when Tom [Keifer, Cinderella frontman] says, ‘Let’s do it.’ And time’s running out. Everybody’s getting older, so… And then, unfortunately, Tom had this setback [earlier this week when the last three shows of his 2026 solo tour were canceled after he ‘completely’ lost his singing voice due to ‘a severe vocal muscle strain/injury’]. So, yes, to answer your question, I do wanna go out and tour again, but it’s gotta be big. And will it be with Cinderella? I don’t know. The door’s not closed on that. We never broke up. Can we all do it? Absolutely. Are we ready? Ready when Tom is. Yeah, we’ll do it. And if it’s not them, then I’ll go out with somebody else.”
He continued, “I would love it, and I think the fans would love it,” he said. “And [Tom is] out there playing Cinderella songs anyway [with his solo band]. So, [he can] do it with the [original Cinderella] guys, and give the fans something, and then go back to doing his band, which he’s happy as a clam up there. So that’s the main thing, is he’s so happy with his [solo] band, and they’re all nice guys, and there’s that. So that’s where the pull for him is, is I don’t think he wants to screw those guys over. But I don’t think he would be because a Cinderella reunion] would be kind of just like a one-time thing. We’ll see.”
