Cinderella guitarist Jeff LaBar has died at the age of 58. The cause of death was not disclosed.
LaBar’s son Sebastian confirmed the news on Wednesday (July 14) through a post on social media.
“My father, my hero, my idol, passed away today. I’m currently at a loss for words. I love you pop!” Sebastian wrote via Instagram. “If you could, please share pictures or video of all the fun times we all had with my dad. It would be greatly appreciated.”
LaBar joined Cinderella in 1985 after founding guitarist Michael Schermick left the group. He remained with the band until 2017.
In 1986, the band released their debut album, Night Songs. The band released their sophomore album in 1988, Long Cold Winter, which featured their biggest hit, “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone),” which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
During their prime days, Cinderella toured with Bon Jovi and Poison, among others.
LaBar also dropped his own debut solo EP, One for the Road, in 2014. The EP peaked at No. 130 on the Billboard 200.
