23 Tom Keifer "Was it terrifying to have vocal problems at the height of your career?"

Tom Keifer answers the question, "Your vocal problems happened at the height of your career, which must have been terrifying. Was it?"

[@tccross9949]

I am this mans monitor engineers son (Pauly Parker) and I saw him fight this terrible problem and try and stay upbeat. I saw him when his voice was peaking and it was the most beautiful scream that not only shook your body but, touched your heart. God works in mysterious ways. Tom our family saw your struggle and admire your perseverance! Take a musicians instrument away and you took his/her Psychiatrist away! Some would say his issue's cut a tremendous talent short of a long career. I say the man forever etched his name in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame with the time he did get and never have I seen a more original, entertaining and nothing he can't do performer like You my friend!

[@christina7981]

Beautiful. I know what it is like to have a God given talent cut short. Breaks your heart in two. Music is a way of life. You cant live without your life.

[@scarlett-allforTomKeifer]

I totally agree! This man is awesome. He can play every thing on that stage, writes the music and sings it! He is the whole package. I love it!

[@izzy_6283]

I'm happy to know that everything I've always thought about Tom is confirmed by someone who knows him personally. I've admired him for 38 years now. He brought the very best music to my teen years which got me through some tough times & i thank him for that.

[@paulschenkel1660]

Thanks Tom for all the Great music you have written, Long Cold Winter is one of the Greatest records ever. I still love listening to it. Thanks again never stop.

[@VoluptuousDonnaRae]

Tom is the best singer ever and he has so much more going for him...Tom Keifer Rules!

[@One-Fire]

Tom, so many vocalists sound the same. You always had your own one of a kind, successful voice. Stunning rock voice! Peace to you and yours.

[@MeShelleyB]

My heart breaks for what you had to endure and what you still go through to keep your voice. Thankfully, you didn't give up! You're a strong talented man with a beautiful talented wife by your side. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, your fans :-)

[@airjamin8tor]

[@trirod2545]

[@theresaxxf8186]

Hi Tom very sorry for your Loss if your Mom I know that feeling 💜🦋💜🦋

[@futurealasd]

every guy who listens to rock should bow to this guy. a true man, supporting 80's music and was ready to fight the shit that came after 90's

[@beastsocks2]

The greatest singer & band ever!! Love you tom

[@randytritt4610]

Wow!! The heart of a lion!! Keep pushing thru brother and as you sing one of the many song I love Sun Shines Thru The Rain!! I hope one day to see you in concert and relive those days of high school thru your songs!! Keep on rockin Tom!!!!

[@mysteric70]

Always felt terrible to hear of what you went through. All the best to you Tom.

[@angelalunsford8210]

Thank God 🙏 you didn't give up! Love your music and voice so much!!! 🤘🏼🎶🎤🎸💀🔥♥️

[@jonniereynolds7915]

Wow, this guy has been through it in the most debilitating way possible. I know what one area feels like, but then to have your soul and career taken away as well, is sorrowfully drenching. I don’t care how long ago it was, my heart goes out to him. ❤

[@wendycupryna1378]

And look how far you come. 💯 Each year your voice sounds stronger n stronger.. I'm glad you didn't give up. I look forward to seeing you scream your heart out again someday. You always seem to amaze me. 💜

[@SuperHotrod4]

I think it’s funny how everybody said when grunge came in and killed the 80s, but that grunge crap came and went in the blink of an eye and 80s is still going. Funny how the 80s got the last laugh.

[@pilarmarie2971]

just the best ,thank you for the great music

[@anniedeshazier4923]

Savanna.take good care of him. He is very special.gods gift

[@AleeRaya12]

True and I agree 💯

[@scarlett-allforTomKeifer]

I just love him! One of the most talented rockers in the industry.

[@speechdr]

Dude, if you're ever in Ocean City, NJ during the summer let me know...I own a motel there and will put you up...I still try to sing your songs...my voice can't do it but more then once a month...how you did it all these years with the vocal paresis to boot is amazing!

[@samake8159]

I'm so sorry bout your mom, Tom. I lost mine 6 months after a drunk ran me over on purpose in 87. Y'all have such talent and the only band I've ever been able to compare to Lunar Skynard. Your music writing is so strong

[@UncleLouietheMillwright]

I appreciate these short videos. This singer seems very original and down to earth. Sad to see singers have voice concerns. I certainly hope after these number of years that Tom is doing well.

[@brianschembri8116]

LOVED YOU THEN LOVE YOU NOW

[@satchitysatch]

He really should be known as being the best singer in American Rock! End off.

[@VictoriaGonzalez-ns4qf]

I'm feeling very hurt when you said I wanna sing 😪. I could feel your heart. I'm praying for you my beloved Rocker. Hope everything will be better 🙏 and wish you could live forever with beautiful songs.

[@michellebehal6693]

Tom is one of my favorite vocalists. I first saw him come to Richfield Coleseum in Ohio with Bon Jovi in 1986. I haven't seen anyone top that live vocal performance yet. ❤ love your new music. Keep rocking.

[@SeanPFarley]

Could his wife look any more bored?

[@MsTstang]

wow I know this had to be tough ..but im so glad you didn't get depressed and do what a lot have done ..but you fought through it ..get R done .....Keep on going with your dreams ...

[@DScottWhitaker]

[@superfan77]

♍️🤘🕊️

[@jeffreyschnoldt5388]

Dude you were a rock star a long time ago, that time has passed, enjoy you millions you made, and rember who you once were, many would sell their souls to have been where you once were...

[@playyuh]

i wouldn't say "millions" lol

[@Brandovibe]

What a ridiculous comment. You're telling somebody to basically give up on their passion and just hang it up up and move on? Would you do that with your passion and what God created you to do? Maybe you haven't discovered your passion yet and that's why you can so easily dismiss this man's?

[@Brandovibe]

@@playyuh well his net worth as of today is about 6 million dollars. To have a net worth of 6 million dollars he had to make much much much more than that over the last 35 years or so of his career. So Millions is very accurate

[@tlyn4cin]

He still is a rock star. I saw him perform a couple of years ago. Nothing weak about that man's voice and performance. I'm glad he was willing to fight for what he loved and has made 2 awesome albums since, for us. He is still going strong.

[@DScottWhitaker]

Watching Cinderella blow Bon Jovi away is one of my most memorable moments as a young metal head. Tom and co. were the opening act with the Night Songs Tour while Jon Bon Jovi was pushing Slippery When Wet. I shit you not...half the audience left before Bon Jovi even came out on stage. I was amazed. True story.

[@lefteriskrem]

anybody knows the name of that plant beside tom?upssssssss......damn..........its his wife.........fooled me there for a sec :p

[@Chaz2yacom]

I did notice when he was gone.

[@Truthmoses]

wish he'd let his mom talk....

[@ss.fx3626]

bob way that's not his mom his mom is dead

[@wiscovirgo]

truth moses that's his wife.

[@AleeRaya12]

That's Tom's wife

[@bigassdummy46]

Am I the only one that thinks Wasp and Cinderella might be the most underrated 80s bands ever?

[@Bigdssweetsmokinbbq]

Could the wife at least try and crack a smile or something once in a while?

[@chem3066]

I was thinking the same thing
