Before he became the frontman of Tool, singer Maynard James Keenan served in the US Army.
After enlisting in 1982, Keenan did his basic training in Oklahoma, and during his time at Fort Still, he roomed with one Jeff Parks. Keenan would eventually move on to be stationed in Kansas, and the two would fall out of touch as the decades passed.
As a birthday wish this past April, Maynard asked for help in finding his long-lost roommate, and after 40 years, the two were finally reunited face-to-face. The singer shared the heartfelt story on Instagram for Veterans Day this past Saturday (November 11th).
