Bobby Kimball (Toto) - is his voice gone?
Bobby Kimball of Toto (and Yoso) fame, performed at a concert in Peru called Icons of Classic Rock a few days ago. Kimball was there along with Alex Ligertwood of Santana, Bill Champlin of Chicago, Kevin Chalfant of Journey (super-briefly in Journey, but long enough for him to use it to book a show, I guess) and Fran Cosmo of Boston. This is a clip of Kimball "singing" the Toto classic - David Paich of course sang this originally with Kimball on the choruses:

I haven't followed his career closely - I know he has been in and out of Toto a few times. But I wonder if this is just a (really) bad night or if his voice is shot. In his heyday Kimball was one of the best AOR rock singers out there.
He sounds a bit better here, on the song that he originally sang lead on. But it's hard to tell because there is clearly some additional vocalists helping out:
