Shaun Cassidy, a legendary heartthrob for millions of teen girls in the ’70s and early ’80s, is back on the road and touring after almost 40 years. His new tour, “The Road to Us,” is touring the US and made its stop in the Tampa Bay area at the Nancy and Bill Bilheimer Capitol Theater in Clearwater, on Dec 12th.
Shaun did a full Q&A with VIP fans an hour before the show. Allowing a select group of fans the chance to speak and ask their most desired questions. He spoke candidly about his life, his marriages, his current wife, his career, and where he was now and where he has been. After the Q&A, he had groups of eight go up to the stage and have their picture taken with him. He gave all the VIPs swag bags and greeted almost everyone with a handshake and a smile.
When asked what was different about his fans than other artists’ fans, he said, “I don’t know, I’m different because maybe I’ve stepped away for so long, and I’m more of a writer and a storyteller, as you’ll see in the show tonight.” He also stated that the word ‘fan’ didn’t feel right to him; it created a distance between those who came to see him and himself.
When asked about social media, he said that he really didn’t want to be on it; he’s more of an introvert. However, he liked that it brought him closer to his followers and allowed him to interact with them on a personal level. He also stated that he didn’t have someone else running his social media. He said it makes him happier that he can look at the lives of the people who grew up hearing him sing at shows and now see that they have also grown up, have kids, spouses, and are still around enjoying his music.
