'The Way Life Goes'
Saturday, October 21, 2017 at 12:01AM
Tom Keifer is apparently on the mend, after having a little health scare earlier this week. He was rushed to the hospital with exhaustion and dehydration and had to cancel some shows.
Happily, Tom does have a new video for his song "The Way Life Goes" to promote The Way Life Goes – Deluxe Edition due out October 20.

I have pre ordered the deluxe edition.
About 5 years ago, I told my sister-in-law that I got banned from the "official" tom keifer website.
Her jaw dropped.
Then she recovered and asked, "How did you get banned?"
I told the truth: I asked a question on the site. Some random poster replied that I am not a "true" fan for posting that question. I called him a cunt and the webmaster banned me from ever posting again. truth!
I never even saw my sister-in-law's jaw hit the floor.
What a massive disappointment Kiefer and his post Cinderella material have been.
I was fortunate enough to witness point blank, the last time they played together (The Monsters of Rock Cruise, 2014, I think)! And two years before that on the last Shiprocked before that turned to crap, I was able to tell him face-to-face that he is a legend, for which he grabbed my hand in a brotherly handshake and held it to his heart and, looking md right in the eye. said, “”Thank you.”
And though his lefendary status will NEVER change, he will be nothing more than only a little bit classier, slightly more high quality version of Brett Michaels. Though infinitely more talented than Michaels, Kiefer’s new stuff doesn’t hold a candle to what he did with Cinderella, in a similar parallel to Michaels solo vs. Poison.
It really is that disposable. And to add insult to injury, all he can do is put out a new deluxe version of an album he released a couple of years ago? I mean, it’s been what feels like an eon since he appeared on lLetterman with his unimpressive back up band..
Sorry to slag so harshly, Tom, especially so soon after your latest health scare but, yeah, chug the water, take the vitamin shots, eat organic and sleep more!
It’s possible I could change my opinion of him but he’s gotta put out a new album head and shoulders above his last one! Good luck, Tom! And take care of yourself!
I actually kinda like Tom's solo CD. He's a pretty good song writer...He's grown as a songwriter, his lyrics have some substance. (Although "Shake Me" will forever be a guilty pleasure) Cinderella has always been one of those bands where having just a greatest hits CD is more than enough. I do agree with MB on one point here.. Re-releasing his last record with only 1 or 2 new songs, after 4 or 5 years is lazy... It's time for a new CD, not a re-hash. Get well, Tom.
I agree

Here's an article which says he is currently working on new material to be out in 2018.

I know, I know...mb will still bitch and complain.
As I say about my own State of Pennsylvania: You got Democrats on the right in Philly, You got Democrats on the left in Pittsburgh...and in the middle...well, you got yourself, Alabama!
...and in the middle, well you got, trump, pence and sessions. The tri-facta!
