Paul couldn't make it to the Classic Rock Awards, but he sent a video message on how it felt to win the Showman award. Below is the text of the video.
Stanley: I'm very pleased because all my rock 'n' roll heroes have been great showmen. Everyone from Steve Marriott of Humble Pie to Slade's Noddy Holder. Showmanship is key to all my favourite bands. Although I must admit I was surprised to receive the award, given that I'm not quite as commanding on stage as I used to be! ( Stanley is quoting Classic Rock's review of KISS' appearance at Download 2008 -Ed.) In fairness, it has taken me some time to recover from a torn shoulder - I had to have my left rotator cuff replaced. Plus I've had hip replacement surgery. I'm 57 years old now and being a member of KISS is very demanding physically. But at this point it feels like I've just had my 50,000-mile check-up. I'm good for another 50,000 at least.
What does the future hold for KISS?
It looks like we'll be touring Europe as well as the states. You'll be getting more of what you saw at Download - the KISS Alive! vibe amped up to the max. There might even be a new KISS album at some point. I have been ambivalent to the idea in the past but I'm much more open to it now. I thought I'd be content for KISS to remain a heritage act, just playing our greatest hits - Detroit Rock City and all that. But the new KISS line-up with Tommy Thayer (guitar) and Eric Singer (drums) is proving to be so good, so strong in spirit, it would be interesting to see how we perform in the studio. The intention would be to make a KISS album in the style of our 1970's recordings. A classic KISS album, unmistakably.
Thought you'd get a kick out of this ad! I don't know if these are official or not, but we see these Dodge advertisements and publicity standees all over our cities in Italy.
KISS lead singer Paul Stanley was out with his very pregnant wife, Erin Sutton, at the Bedford Medical Center. The pair chat happily with paparazzi about the baby who is due any day now. It's a girl and they're naming her Sarah.
Paul is a keen artist and has two exhibitions being staged at the Wentworth Gallery in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts in March.
Paul Stanley from KISS and his pregnant wife Erin were seen enjoying a coffee date in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
We first shared Paul and Erin’s baby news back in August. The 56-year-old legendary co-founder and frontman for KISS, stated that he and Erin are very excited to welcome their second child together: “Erin and I are thrilled and can’t wait to meet our newest addition. We’ve been extremely blessed and we’re excited to see what the future holds. I often joke that I’ve traded the Viper Room for the diaper room, and it looks like my tour’s been extended!”
The couple live in Beverly Hills with their 2-year-old son Colin and Paul’s 14-year-old son, Evan, from a previous marriage.
