Earlier, KISS frontman Paul Stanley took to Twitter to share an update following last week’s Covid-19 diagnosis:
“My COVID symptoms were MILD compared to many others and let me tell you … It kicked my ass. It’s over now.”
Stanley‘s positive diagnosis caused KISS to postpone four shows on their massive End of The Road World Tour. The trek had just recently restarted on August, 18th in Mansfield, Massachusetts, USA.
