Kiss' Paul Stanley Bows Out Of Concert
-
Artist:
Veteran rockers are dropping like flies. Kiss played a show without lead singer and guitarist Paul Stanley this past Friday night at the Soboda Casino, about an hour and half outside of Los Angeles. Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer all took the stage for the set while Stanely was taken to the hospital after a sudden acceleration of his heartbeat. 
On Saturday Stanley had this to say on his Web site, PaulStanley.com: "During sound check yesterday, my heart spontaneously jumped to 190 plus beats per minute where it stayed for over an hour necessitating paramedics to start an IV and give me a shot to momentarily stop my heart and get it into a normal pattern. Not knowing if this episode was life threatening made it even more exhausting. After consulting with both the paramedics and a cardiologist at Cedar Sinai, they confirmed my worst fear. They said that I would put myself at risk if I tried to do the show.I’m very proud of Gene, Tommy and Eric for carrying on without me. I apologize to anyone I disappointed and I’ll make it up to you when I see you again.Paul."
