Cinderella guitarist, Jeff LaBar, has passed away at the age of 58. The band, their families and management request privacy at this time.

“Heavy hearts cannot begin to describe the feeling of losing our brother Jeff. The bond between us over decades of creating music and touring the world is something that we as a band uniquely shared. Those memories with Jeff will be forever alive in our hearts. It’s unimaginable that one of our band brothers has left us. We’re sending his wife Debinique, his son Sebastian, family, and friends our deepest condolences. Jeff’s memory and music will be with us forever. We all... band, family and management appreciate the overwhelming outpouring of love. Rest In Peace Jeff” - Tom, Eric & Fred

According to a TMZ report, Jeff's first wife, Gaile LaBar-Bernhardt, found him dead Wednesday inside his apartment in Nashville. He had gone off the grid for a few days, with friends and family unable to reach him. The cause of death remains unclear.

Jeff LaBar performed on all four Cinderella albums in the band's catalogue: Night Songs (1986), Long Cold Winter (1988), Heartbreak Station (1990), Still Climbing (1994). The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 1995 after Still Climbing failed to chart but reunited sporadically in the years that followed for tours and live shows. In an interview from 2016, LaBar admitted to having a substance abuse problem with alcohol for years, and blamed himself for Cinderella's inactivity.
