Ladyheart
History
Ladyheart was the name of '80s glam metal band fronted by Vince Vincente. Popular in the '80s, Ladyheart were a multi-platinum selling act. However, as musical taste would begin to shift in the '90s, and after a disastrous 1988 tour[1], Ladyheart's popularity began to wane, turning the band into a punchline. While the band eventually dissolved, Vince and Ladyheart drummer Tommy remained close friends, with Tommy remaining a drummer for Vince's solo projects.
