Paul Stanley of KISS is working on his autobiography.
Stanley recently shared an update on the progress of the book while at an event in Los Angeles.
“My book is about three-quarters done. It should be pretty terrific,” he said, adding, “The first draft is almost done. I give it about four or five months.”
“I think there’s a lot to be said for self-empowerment for what you can accomplish, when you believe in yourself, and go against all the odds and adversity,”
“So hopefully, it will be a book that is more than just a lot of smut, and a tell-all, or braggadocio.”
Despite noting that ”the road really isn’t that easy,” Stanley doesn’t seem overly open to sharing too many personal hardships, saying, ”I’m an entertainer. I’m a performer.”
“People pay me to entertain. People pay me to forget about their problems. You don’t want to hear my problems.You don’t want to hear about mine.”
While his life hasn’t always included KISS, Stanley promises that fans wanting to read about the band won’t feel left out. “It’s my life story. It’s not just about Kiss,” he said, “although Kiss has been a big part of my life. So I’d be cheating everybody if I didn’t talk about that.”
