Sad news for CINDERELLA fans.
Guitarist Barry Benedetta has passed away from Covid 19.
He worked with Tom Keifer / Cinderella’s frontman as a lead guitarist on “Back Home Again”, “Nothin’ for Nothin'” and “Push, Push” on Cinderella’s Debut album “Night Songs”.
Here’s the statement:
“December 17 2021, Barry was found in his home unresponsive. He was taken to the hospital where he was placed on a vent with Covid-19 symptoms. He succumbed to his complications from the virus on January 6 2022 at 1:36 am. He leaves behind a beautiful wife Tish DeBenedetta and his 3 children. He also leaves behind his new rock family with DeBenedetta as well as all the fans he has from 1985. Barry is to be remembered as an amazing guitarist that could solo like no other! He was obnoxiously funny and sweet and a very compassionate soul. He loved those around him and he was so excited that he was able to do music again at 60 years old for DeBenedetta. They had planned on releasing more music in 2022! Shimmer Johnson the lead vocalist of the group plans on releasing the unfinished music Barry and her wrote. So stay tuned for more DeBenedetta in the future to honor the late Barry Benedetta.”

“Anti-vaxxing fool dies of Covid”
So he refuses to vaccinate, wastes a hospital bed for three weeks, and now is begging for money on GoFundMe? Classy.
