Just a short time ago we learned that the legendary Starchild of KISS, Paul Stanley, had tested positive for the Coronavirus and we’ve shared the statement about this and the outcome of the show that was supposed to happen. At the time of this posting only this evenings show has been postponed but I am sure others will follow and I shall update this copy as necessary.
The Statement:
Tonight’s #KISS show at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA is unfortunately postponed due to Paul Stanley testing positive for COVID. More information about show dates will be made available ASAP. 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.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: We wish Paul Stanley the speediest of recoveries from the virus so he can get back on stage and rock your socks off. When rescheduled dates are revealed I will update the legions in the readership. I should point out that Paul is not alone in this as we also have Jonathan Davis of Korn and Corey Taylor of Slipknot have contracted the virus as well. Let’s keep them all in our thoughts shall we? I don’t have anything else to add about this but remember that if more shows are postponed I will update this announcement. Please stay safe out there because this isn’t over at all.
