Paul Stanley has been rocking and rolling all nite for over 50 years, and that has been taking a toll on his body. So much so, that yesterday he had shoulder surgery to repair some of the damage he has done to himself throughout the decades.
This wasn’t his first surgery. So how many surgeries has the 69-year-old guitarist gotten? He
wrote, “I lost count at EIGHT!! Was it worth it?!? ABSOLUTELY! Judge the value of what of you have by what you sacrificed to achieve that goal. This was a joy-filled BARGAIN.”
That is why Gd Gave Rock’n’Roll to him and KISS!
Get well soon. We need to see you work your magic with the guitar soon.
Today is the last day of Chanukah, so that means no more Hanukkah Sessions from Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin.
Does that mean it is over forever? The drummer wrote, “Greg and I would like to thank all of the people that helped ramp up the Hanukkah Sessions this year. It’s gonna be tough to beat! (But we will. Oh, we will…)”
So mark your calendars because they will be back doing the music of Jewish performers starting on December 18, 2022.
Until that date, we can Rock and Roll Nite and party every day with their version of the KISS song.
A little over two weeks ago, Paul Stanely was diagnosed with COVID-19. And it is not slowing him down in the least.
The KISS singer wrote, “SIXTEEN DAYS since my Covid symptoms. TWENTY FIVE MILES on my bike today. I’m back and NEVER would have been through it like this without being double vaxxed and proper medications.”
This is even more incredible when you realize that he is 69 years old. When I am 69, I just want to stay awake for 25 minutes in a row. I can’t even imagine wanting to do 25 miles on a bike.
I guess if you have been Rocking and Rolling all nite and partying every day as long as he has, you have the stamina to do that. Since I haven’t, I will live vicariously through him.
Anyways, I do have something in common with him. I am also double vaccinated. I hope you can say the same. It is the only way we are going to get through this.
Last week, KISS announced that they had to reschedule some of the dates on their final tour because Paul Stanley tested positive for COVID-19, even though he is fully vaccinated. Today, they revealed that the fully vaccinated Gene Simmons also has it.
“KISS will postpone their next four tour dates. While Paul Stanley recently tweeted that he has recovered from COVID, Gene Simmons has now tested positive and is experiencing mild symptoms,” they said in a statement. “The band and crew will remain at home and isolate for the next 10 days and doctors have indicated the tour should be able to resume on September 9th at FivePoint Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates once announced. More information will be emailed to ticketholders directly.”
Hopefully, none of the other members will test positive, and they can resume their tour as planned. That and both men recover quickly with no long-term side effects. This way, they can Rock and Roll All Nite again for the rest of their final shows.
While several musicians like BTS and Garth Brooks are canceling concerts because they don’t want their fans to get COVID-19, KISS postponed a date on their final tour because Paul Stanley tested positive for it.
“Tonight’s [August 26th] KISS show at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA is unfortunately postponed due to Paul Stanley testing positive for COVID,” a statement reads. “Everyone on the entire tour, both band and crew, are fully vaccinated. 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.”
No word if any other shows will be postponed. But their next gig is slated for tomorrow in Raliegh, N.C.
Get well soon, Paul Stanley. And everyone who isn’t vaccinated but can get the shot, do it now! It is better than getting coronavirus.
