PAUL STANLEY TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 … KISS Concert Canceled

Posted on by

TMZ

Paul Stanley has tested positive for COVID-19, and now KISS won’t be taking the stage for a scheduled concert in Pennsylvania … TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Paul tell TMZ … the KISS lead singer is fully vaccinated and feeling fine despite testing positive. There were rumblings on Twitter Paul was having heart issues — and that’s why the show was canceled — but we’re told that’s NOT the case.
Our sources say Paul’s positive test result is the reason for Thursday’s canceled KISS concert at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA.

KISS is currently on tour and their next scheduled concert is Saturday in North Carolina.
A rep for the group tells us, “More information about show dates will be made available ASAP. Everyone on the entire tour, both band and crew, are fully vaccinated.”
The rep continues, “The band and their crew have operated in a bubble independently to safeguard everyone as much as possible at each show and in between shows. The tour also has a COVID safety protocol officer on staff full-time that is ensuring everyone is closely following all CDC guidelines.”

What an honor to be jamming with Wes Beech from The Plasmatics/Wendy O. Williams Band! Wes was the guitarist on “It’s My Life” from Wendy’s debut solo album that was produced by Gene Simmons. “It’s My Life” was demoed by KISS for Creatures of the Night and Psycho Circus but never made it on either album.

KISStorian Brothers – KISS, the Amityville Horror

Posted on by

KISStorian Brothers

Brother Dave offers late-nite perspective and observations on KISS live in Amityville in ’73, catching the band at their ever-evolving inception, a case study if ever on KISStory. Bits include thoughts on abandoned tunes “Acrobat”, “Life In The Woods” and “Simple Type”. What is gleamed is a decided mix of southern rock, Brit power-pop and vestiges of the late-60’s power-trio / hippie-jam rock soul apparently coursing through the young veins of then 22-year-old lead guitarist Ace Frehley. Thanks to KISS Army members like Tony’s KISS Universe and all curly people who unearth stuff with us seemingly every day, gimme more!!
